[NFBCS] Keyboard

[Brad Snyder]

Actually, the Das Keyboards are not clones of the old IBM keyboards.
They are a modern mechanical keyboard with gold switch contacts.  The keyboard comes in both “clicky” and silent mechanisms.
The Das Keyboard is available with and without key-cap labels.
Mine has no key-cap labels.  I love it because most sighted people are paralyzed, and unable to use a keyboard without key-cap labels.
