    Voted for Cherry MX Blues, although really I prefer the buckling springs on my IBM Model F. I have to admit, though, since switching away from it I've rediscovered how useful proper cursor keys and extra function and modified keys are, and it'd be a challenge to move back - no matter how much nicer it feels.

    How about using the F for typing and a programmable numpad for basic functions etc?

    It's a possibility, but the Model F already fills the desk so I'd struggle to find space for a secondary keypad.
