You can have my Azio when you can pry it from my cold dead hands!

I've been both an IT Pro and a writer since 1982. I've build keyboards from scratch and have fixed keyboards from nearly every manufacturer on the planet. While there were a few pretty good ones back in the day, most now are annoying and some I just plain hate to the point of punching, throwing, or slamming repeatedly again the desk. Yes, I have a thing about keyboards, and mice too! I have big hands and started palming basketballs at age 12 so you can imagine the issues all those tiny, cramped, non-tactile, short stroke input device want-ta-be's have caused me over the years.
