I use the Unicomp Model M (macOS version). It's a great keyboard but having used a standard Dell at work every day, I soon realised that I don't enjoy it much more than a $30 Dell keyboard.

When, or maybe if, this Model M fails, I'll pick up a run of the mill $30 keyboard.

Interesting, it's the second mention of Unicomp Model M. I have been working on a $20 Dell Black KB216 keyboard for over a year but have not been enjoying it.

Funnily enough, that's the exact keyboard I am referencing when I talk about the one I use at work. The Model M is a far better keyboard but it just doesn't bother me that much.

For a year I had no complaints about the Dell keyboard.

In the beginning I thought it's decent. Now a new computer was set-up at the next desk with a brand-new keyboard of that kind. When I had to type something in on that new Dell keyboard of the same kind, the tactile feedback was much clearer. I am assuming it feels better since it is new and the rubber domes (needs verification) are not that used.

At my desk I am now getting annoyed of the worn out feeling. It's interesting how perception changes when you have a direct comparison.
