The Das Keyboard arrived.
First impression: It's heavy, clicky. It definitely sounds great. I
wouldn't compare it to the IBM Model M, though, which feels much more
sturdy and solid.
Let's see how it performs over time.
I think about getting some Linux keycaps. It's easy to replace them,
so why not?

To sum it up, the Das Keyboard feels like "clickerty-click" whereas
the IBM Model M is like "HEAVY METAL INDUSTRIAL CLACK". Or something
like that.
Nevertheless, it's a lot more fun to type on the Das Keyboard than on
my previous non-mechanical keyboard. :-)
