Picking your keyboard key switch

REALLY good article about the different Cherry MX keyboard switches. I'm considering buying a quality Cherry MX keyboard, but have been confused about the different switch colors. This explains it nicely.

I want a more tactile keyboard. I really can't stand the standard cheap mushy keyboards that are common today. I had a bin full of old Dell high-end multi-media keyboards that they don't make anymore. Trouble is I have a heavy hand and I wear them out every 6 months or so, and I'm down to my last two.

Yes, I have seen many mechanical keyboards on newegg. Logitech, Corsair, Razor, and Rosewill are among them. Not so cheap, but you do get what you pay for after all. The Cherry ones seem to be the most popular.

I'm the odd guy that likes the Natural keyboards. I use the Microsoft 4000. They have a decent tactile feel to them, I don't see how they could make them so that they don't actually.
