keyboards and the mechanical keyboard on clownfish (opensuse machine).<br>

We spend the money on the gaming machines to make them good for what<br>
they're used for (in the form of graphics cards) - let's do the same for<br>
the programming and work focused machines. It's a well known fact that the<br>
mechanical keyboards DO last longer, and they DO in fact get lloked after<br>
when on non-gaming machines.<br>
