Used PS/2 keyboards are easy to find where I live.  There's always at least one at the Goodwill store when I go there.  Most new computers come with keyboards, so all these old keyboards are just floating around.

I want to find an old 80s IBM keyboard someday.  The keys click when you depress them.  Very retro.

when you put the little button thing inside the key back in something could have dropped in there, pressing the uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu alot. But im guess you already looked.

I went to some shit university too look round and all of their computers had the old retro dull grey/white keyboards and when you typed they made an awful racket.
I cannot imagine what a class with everyone typing on those things would sound like.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII will always love UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Next time you clean your keyboard, just get a can of compressed air and spray it at an angle in between the keys, this should get out sediment and dust easily enough.  If you want, remove the keys and spray it down.

Warning: never spray straight down, or too close, as compressed air is COLD and will freeze on contact.  Although it is, however, fun to spray in such a manner on your skin, try like 2 cm away and spray, it's awesome.

It still didn't work after days and numerous dryings, so I just bought a teeny german keyboard.

It's pretty adorable, with all its funny characters, but the letters on the keyboard are not the letters that come out on screen. If I look at the keyboard I just get confused - so I just have to type blind. Works ok.

I have this keyboard

I did a quick google search on IBM keyboard +click, and got many results talking specifically about the IBM "clicky" keyboards, including a whole website:
http://www.clickykeyboard.com/

I just happened to like that keyboard, but I had no idea that there's a tiny subculture that loves them. One of the ebay items says "All keys retain that classic clicky response" like it's wine or something. These things have become relatively expensive, too.

I want one now more than ever
