I simply couldn't find a keyboard designed for typing ( wired, rather reasonably priced, playable WASD placed, without 234873 media keys ) around so currently stuck with MS Comfort Curve 2000 :/

Define "reasonably priced".

Not accusing you of this, but it consistently amazes me how many people (and companies!!) cheap out on keyboards. If you are a programmer, it is your primary interaction with your computer.

If I thought I would get an extra 1% productivity out of a $1000 keyboard, I'd buy one.

In fact, I'd ask my boss to buy it for me. I work ~2000 hours a year (48*40) so a 1% productivity increase equates to ~20 hours. Given my time is easily > $100 an hour (not salary, charge), it pays for itself in less than 6 months.

tl;dr: treat yourself to the best keyboard you can buy :)

Yep, sounds like a faulty board to me. Its possible its something you could fix yourself (e.g. weak solder joints) if you're handy with that sort of thing and beyond warranty, but its probably easiest to RMA it if you can.

Mechanical keyboards are great, and you can customize the switch based on what you're doing -- Greens are great if you like a loud click, for example. Of the not-intentionally-loud ones, clears are best for typing (silent, heavier touch, with a strong tactile bump), reds are great for gaming (no tactile bump, and a light stroke better for quick double-actuation), and browns are a good compromise if you do equal duty typing/gaming (quiet, medium touch, and tactile bump).

I've got a WASD 87-key with browns for LANing and I sometimes bring it with me to work, even. I'm probably about to grab a couple 104-key CODE keyboards (also made by WASD) with clears for my workstations, and I'll just swap in the 87-key for gaming sessions.

My mecchie has Cherry MX Blues clicky clicky and is just heaven and puts singing in my heart. Feels almost like a Selectric without the desk-shaking typeball. I haven't had any problems with keys sticking, but the whole keyboard is pretty solid (brushed metal foundation, open keybed to clean out all the crumbs and hairs, etc). Yeah, it cost more than several el-cheapo sponge jobs put together but it's how I earn my living. When I'm on the road and I'm stuck with the flat chicklets on my ultrabook it is torture.

tl;dr what you're describing is not normal with a mechanical keyboard.

Reasonably priced in rubber dome universe Actually didn't consider mechanical ones (not using since Commodore 64 or prehistoric IBMs ) , but let me accept the challenge of finding a non-gamer (only WASD) mechanical keyboard with Turkish layout available in Turkey.

Das Keyboard makes a pretty solid mechanical keyboard, I use this one for my home desktop. I bought one without labeled keycaps, thinking that it'd help me get better at touch-typing; I eventually broke down and got some label stickers. That might be an option - I don't have any idea what the availability of keyboards with a native Turkish layout, but I can imagine the quality mechanical keyboard market is heavily US-centric.

Thanks for the link, I don't like stickers but laser etching can be an option. Let me keep that in mind.

My mecchie has Cherry MX Blues clicky clicky and is just heaven and puts singing in my heart.

I had a USB model-M clone with genuine buckling-spring switches for awhile, which put singing in my heart as well.

Unfortunately it put a rage into my Wife's heart, as its clacking was inescapable anywhere in our 1000 square-foot rental short of covering it with something louder. Even closing our office door didn't cut much of the noise, but it wasn't an option anyway since we both share the office space. Loved the feel of them though, and the Blues come close; maybe again one day when we can accommodate individual office spaces in different wings or levels of some future home.

I bought a new rig last week and along with it a Logitech MK750. It's cordless and batteriless (in other words solar-powered). I was wary of it at first because of its ultra slim build, but frankly after a week of typing on it I have to say I love it. Somehow it feels lightweight and substantial at the same time. And I really love the fact that it worked straight out of the box and doesn't require batteries. The USB dongle is minute as well - extruding only about 3 mm. So no threat of accidentally breaking that off.

So yeah - either the keyboard is good, it fits me really well or my previous, wine-soaked Keyboardy McStickybrick lowered my standards below all hope.

Got a Corsair cherry mx red keyboard here. Typing is fine with it. Sounds like you got a faulty keyboard.
