Oh wow, a tenkeyless model M. How much did you get that for? Those are so rare and hard to come by these days and usually cost a pretty penny.
Generally I type on a Filco and a Thinkpad laptop keyboard. For gaming and normal use I definitely prefer the regular profile keys.

It cost me about $80 three or four years ago. It was a very lucky find.

The Saitek Eclipse II, seconded. I have had this keyboard for about 4 years and gave it a full component cleaning a couple weeks ago. It is essentially brand new again.
Keys are responsive, light, and not very noisy. Everything comes apart easily and without damage. Backlit keys haven't faded a bit.
I personally prefer the purple backlight, but I switch it up to keep things interesting.

Any mechanical keyboard is awesome. You don't notice they are high profile at all. I don't know how I ever used my low profile Razer keyboards for so long. I loved them. Now I've got a Filco and I'll never look back. It's like typing on a cloud.

Have you tried the Black Widow? I've never been a fan of the other razer keyboards, but i've heard good things about it.

I have this keyboard and I don't really like it. I mean it's okay, but I don't think it's anything special for the price. I would rather have the OPs keyboard (I use to use that one). I do like how it's decently quiet though. I have a roommate so this is important for me.
Maybe I just need to clean it like the above guy. My spacebar is fucked up too.

simple keyboard that has yet to fail on me. no need for media buttons since i bind winamp shortcuts (play/stop/previous/next) to ctrl+up/down/left/right arrow respectively.

I mostly like it for the small keys. I don't have huge hands so it's much easier for me.

Once you go mechanical, you won't want to use anything else again. Everything else just feels so lame comparatively

hahaha, I have the exact same keyboard in the OP, but I just ordered a steelseries 6Gv2. When I played at a cybergrounds lan in DC I got on a computer that had a Model M on it and I just fell in love with the way mechanical keyboards felt. I'll end up using the 6Gv2 for just about everything but I'll need to keep my crappy dell keyboard around since I still haven't gotten to the point where I don't need to look at the stickers to type in Hindi.

I've done pretty much all my SC:BW playing and SC2 playing on a laptop, so a laptop keyboard xD
It's gotta be a full one though, with the numpad on the side still.

I have a Logitech G110. Kinda made me realise that gaming keyboard aren't that useful for StarCraft.

I used the saitek eclipse 2 for about 2 years before the rubber domes gave in and I had to replace it (got a mechanical keyboard this time.) I enjoyed the quietness of it the keyboard and the backlighting, the keys are a little spread out out so not the best for hotkeying units 1 - 9 with small hands.
