What keyboard do you have?
What keyboards do you guys have? Why do you like them? What style is it? Do you like one style keyboard over another?

I have a Dell AT101W, pretty much the first Mechanical Keyboard in production. While extremely old, I got it out of the trash for free and it still looks great and types great, no broken keys or anything. It's really loud too.

I've been thinking of going to a Razer Black Widow Ultimate, because the glowing keys would make typing in the dark super easy for me, and because the macro keys would be awesome for online games and forums and anything else that they can be programmed for.

I personally don't really like laptop-style keyboards, with those really flat and thin keys. They feel flimsy to me, and barely make any noise. The one thing they're wonderful though is typing long essays and things like that. I actually keep a laptop-styled USB keyboard around for that exact purpose. My mechanical keyboard's big blocky keys can actually start hurting your fingers after 10 pages of typing, normally my fingers are sore by the end of the day just from browsing LG and posting and stuff. The much shorter distance the laptop keys take to depress and everything makes them extremely fast to type on, and because there aren't chasms between the keys, it lets your fingers glide over the tops of them without having to lift up and set down on the next key.

Logitech G110. I bought it on recommendation from Kain. Turned out to be a great purchase.

An old COMPAQ keyboard, nothing fancy. Have to use this one because my other one got soda all over it.

Oh yeah, I've heard that's a great keyboard. I was going to try social engineering myself one back when LG was really into that, but decided against it.

Oh cool haha, I have so much random COMPAQ crap laying around my room lol. An old desktop and stuff thats like friggen 50 pounts, and other shit.

Also, @thread, scrap that. My dad got super pissed at me because he told me I would go no where in life and I told him I'm already more successful than him, so he threw my keyboard and monitor across the room saying "Guess you wont need these then!" and then threatened to throw my desktop in the snow lol. So, goodbye first-gen mechanical keyboard. Now I'm using some weird horrible laptop-style HP one that's from our other family desktop. I really need to get a new keyboard now, might see if someone in my family can pick me up a Razer mechanical keyboard from the store because I'm stuck at home with my broken leg lol.
