For the final part of this series, so to speak, I’ll be reviewing my keyboard + mouse. Being that these devises are what you primarily touch when on a computer, it makes sense to make sure they’re what you want.<\/p>\n

The keyboard I went with is a Unicomp Spacesaver. Here’s a brief history and background: Starting in 1984, IBM manufactured the iconic “Model M” keyboard. Rights to the keyboard later changed hands over to Lexmark, and ultimately Unicomp. What’s so special about this Model M keyboard? They’re well-built units with a steel backing plate construction, and are famed for lasting years. My favorite feature of this keyboard is the buckling spring design, which gives each keystroke a\u00a0tactile feedback. I really like the audible “click-clack” noise the springs give.\u00a0The generic keyboards nowadays use the dome switch design, which feel plain.<\/p>\n

I could have bought an original Model M off of eBay, but I preferred the slightly smaller design of Unicomp’s Spacesaver and it’s USB connection over PS2.<\/p>\n

Unicomp has stuck close to the formula and it’s still solidly constructed (weighs over 3lbs).<\/p>\n

Moving onto the mouse, I went with a Logitech Performance MX. I tried a couple of those gaming style mice in the past, but I’m not a fan of how small they usually are. The Performance MX has a good, comfortable shape to it. Lots of features and it feels quality.<\/p>\n

Logitech’s “Dark field” laser technology lets you use the mouse on a reflective surface like glass, nice touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
