[Discuss] Higher-end keyboards to try?

Das recently switched (or is in the process of switching) from buckling 
spring switches to Cherry MX switches. I have a newer Das Keyboard at 
work with Cherry MX brown switches. A bit clicky but not too loud and 
with a slightly lighter touch than the loud clicky types.

Best bang for the buck is Ducky keyboards. Very solid build quality, 
Cherry MX switches, good price. I got a Zero Series with Cherry MX red 
switches last summer for about $90. Non-tactile, decent for typing but 
it's more of a gaming keyboard than the Das I have at work. Highly 
recommend Ducky.

If you absolutely must have a buckling spring keyboard like the IBM 
Model M then the place to go is Unicomp.
