IBM Model M - manufactured 1996 :D
Found it at work :D
For those of you who are not aware about mechanical keyboards, i recommend you to read this:
http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/491752-mechanical-keyboard-guide.html
Newer mechanical keyboards are using Cherry MX switches, with different colors, according to their abilities:
http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Cherry+switches+and+boards
They are just awesome for RTS Games like SC2, cause they give you a very nice feedback etc., and the way you have to press the keys is way less than on a rubbermat keyboard. Not to mention they are way better build and will work like 4ever with the same exact and precise function they did on day one.
The most used mechanical keyboards in the gaming-scene are prolly the Steelseries 6Gv2 & 7G, and the Razer Black Widow
Just fooling around a bit with this IBM Model M, the sound is really not that good... like a machine gun acctually... since it is not only just clicky, but also doing like "eeeeek" sounds, cause it's 15years old :D
I will prolly order a Filco Majestouch with blue Cherry MX switches.
Thats the exact keyboard that
SlayerS_BoxeR uses btw :D

But if you've ever written on a mechanical keyboard, you will know it is worth the price :)

Then I won some more, earlier today was 1 win away from masters and I got vs. P on Steppes. I killed his base, was waiting for him to gg then a DT was in my mineral line, I scanned and killed it but he had 1 more and he killed my CC with it :(
8 more wins now for masters :(
