now that I have a laptop stand I need a keyboard...
I like this layout (hard to find something like a 65% + tenkey)
but would like clicky (cherry blue or knockoff) switches
this model only comes in red (not clicky)
I would use my model m, but no super key and I gotta have one of those (maybe a footpedal?)

@HappyWizard I bought and am using this model right now. It is actually quite nice. First time using Reds and I assure you they still make quite a nice sound when you are typing. The layout itself is quite nice still adjusting to somethings coming from a "full" keyboard (like FN+F12=PstSc). Though over all it might end up being my favorite keyboard to date, which is saying a lot since I never thought would want to leave my Blue switch full layout.
@rain I might end up going with it, price is nice, layout has potential, judy a little worried I'll just regret not going with blues (or I'll dislike some aspect of the layout)
@HappyWizard Totally understandable! I have been using mine for a couple weeks. You will know within the first week if you like it or not.
I also recommend if you really do want a full numpad for some tasks (I play a couple games that benefit from one or use it with my laptops) you can pick up a external one that has Blue switches for like $15~ USD down the road (assuming you are ordering from Amazon).

@rain I ended up just going with this: Eagletec KG010 $41.99
maybe I'll goof around with designing my own someday :P
and I did end up getting an external 10key when I got this laptop, but now that I've got to get a keyboard, might as well just have it all in one like that.

@HappyWizard That is also a good one it was the one I was using before this one. Pretty decent blue switches for the price as well. Glad you were able to find a keyboard that suited your needs =]
