If I'm remembering rightly, a while back (months), there was a
discussion about keyboards.
I noticed this one and wanted to know if it looks good and is worth $220
(the average BK goes for $100, so you can imagine my surprise), I'm
uncertain.
I'm I know that this might be an opinion matter.

I don't need a new KB now, but the discount that is being offered will not
last forever.
I've just about beat my Dell/ Alps OEM keyboard to death, and have been
searching for a replacement. The primary market for high-dollar
keyboards seems to be gaming. A secondary is heavy typing (secretary,
programming). My interest is the latter, but I do game occasionally. I
prefer to keep the noise down. I like a number pad. My keyboard,
mouse, KVM, and older machines use PS/2 cabling and connectors. I use
PS/2 to USB adapters on newer machines. Multi-key rollover through the
KVM works if the host is PS/2, but fails if the host is USB.
The CODE keyboard looks appealing:

Does anybody have the CODE 104-Key MX Brown, or something similar?
Thoughts? Comments?
