My solar-powered wireless USB keyboard kicked the bucket this week and I want to give the mechanical keyboard stuff a shot. My use case:
- don't give a shit about gameing
- primarily use OSX and sometimes linux
- programmer
- needs full num pad
- ideally no Bluetooth, wired is OK

I'm mostly interested in the tactile quality of it, and how maintainable/ easy to clean it is. Not so much power gaming optimizations and all that malarkey.

If anybody has good/bad experiences I would love to hear about them. I don't really know what to look for in a "good" mechanical keyboard.
