[tech] Humpback Replacement

[Bob Adamson]

I refer you to the difference in cleanliness between the gaming machine 
keyboards and the mechanical keyboard on clownfish (opensuse machine). 
Clownfishes is still clean, the gaming machines are disgusting - 
Coincidence?

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