Apple Extended Keyboard Lives Again

Posted by pudge on from the me-likee dept.

An anonymous reader writes "For all of you that have wanted a firm keyboard (like in the old days with mechanical keyswitches) Matias has released the tactilepro keyboard. This keyboard uses the same mechanical keyswitches used in the Apple Extended Keyboard. Alps was going to scrap the keyswitches, so he had to commit to buy 1 million of them. Here's a great review by Adam Engst." It looks absolutely great, and it's only $100 (though apparently backordered until late April).

    FIRST POST!?!!? I really enjoyed these keyboards... But are they really worth that much money? Think of all the ramen noodles I could buy...

    There was also a behemoth of a keyboard called "Apple Extended Keyboard"...

    I believe that one had an internal codename of Nimitz, as in aircraft carrier.

    I think I've still got one or two in a closet (with F-Key template overlay!), if anybody really needs one. I've also still got a few of the original square ADB mice in there scratching at the walls.

    Have you ever considered taking your Kensington Keyboard out of the box? I imagine it might feel better that way.
