@ben if you really have Das Keyboard, how is it? I'd like to get one myself but I'm hesitating.

Yeah. Das Pro 4. I'm perfectly happy with it, but also have never been overly picky in this way. In fact, I only adopted it because someone else had bought it on our team and was no longer using it and I picked it up from a closet (a luxury that is no longer as simple as a distributed team).

Zero complaints, it's been great, but I'm not picky enough. I'd like to become pickier about my keyboards because it seems nice to have opinions, it's just never been something I'm sensitive to.

It's not as pretty as some other ones, it's kind of generic, and I'm also curious about different ergonomic considerations, but for what it is I've been perfectly happy.

Jason—definitely going to check that out, but again, just not picky enough.

One thing I'm curious about switching to possibly is something wireless. I don't think the latency would be a concern (seems more of a gaming problem) and the fact that I have a wireless track pad just makes the idea of having no wires on my desk feel pretty dang awesome.

One of the chief concerns with a wireless is actually security, although that's seldom discussed. It is all too easy to implement a physical keylogger that intercepts a wireless keyboard signal.
