I still use a beige Cherry keyboard from years ago with big switch type keys that make a lovely noise when you use them. I adore them, they feel so much more solidly built than modern keyboards.

I prefer the term "classically aged".  :yarr:

Everything is black on my desktop except for my awesome well aged, coffee stained keyboard :D

Do as I did and remove all the keys, give it a really good clean, then put a blank look on your face as you realise its the only keyboard you have around you at the time, and the keys are all in a pile on the side of the desk.

Thank f**k for touch typing and just plain good memory, it still tested me when I was trying to remember where the bloody # or @ key went on it :D

Or, you take a leaf out of my book and take a photo of it first, then use it for reference. Then find a computer illiterate relative/colleague and offer to clean his keyboard, conveniently adjusting a few keys... :mutley:
