The worst one though: WASD Code with MX Blues. Least reliable: GON's Nerd60, but it could be my sloppy soldering skills - it was the first keyboard I built, also built in keyboards in white apple iBooks and MacBooks, had to replace them every couple month when I used those computers (almost 10 years ago though). Worth noting for reliability: HHKB (my previous one survived multiple spills and drops, but both the old one and new one do change their feel with time and use, not good), Model F AT (it works like a champ for 32 years with only some cleaning, I don't use it daily though) Most reliable: Filco (all 5 keyboards I had/have) and old CM Storm Quickfire Fortunately, I have usually been able to restore the errant switches to useful life, but past malfunctions tend to raise doubts about future reliability. I really like typing on a good solid Alps board, such as a Northgate Omnikey 101 ANSI white Alps, but I have had more problems with Alps switches than any other kind. In addition, a KC60 (loose mini-USB connector). Least reliable: Various vintage Alps-switch keyboards (unresponsive keys chattering keys). In addition, any of my IBM Buckling Spring keyboards, including Model F and Model M (despite numerous broken plastic rivets in several of my Model M boards, they keep on working). The least reliable is the one that developed problems - dead keys, chattering keys, a loose USB connector - or the board that failed altogether. The most reliable is the one you have always trusted to get the job done. Of all the keyboards you have owned (contemporary and/or vintage new or used), which one has proved to be the most reliable and which one has proved to be the least reliable?
