I use box jades at work, and just ignore all the dirty looks.
I switched from an IBM M13 to a Tex Shinobi with box navy a few months ago. It is not as good as buckling spring, but good enough - and the more compact keyboard, full programmability and the better trackpoint make up for it.
I initially tried Cherry MX Blues, but they're horrible. Never understood the Cherry hype in the 90s, and still don't understand it now.
My wife made me get rid of my IBM Model M clone because it was making just a bit too much of a racket.
Could literally hear it from across the house.
Want to try with an original?
Also, surprising you kept the wife, not the keyboard.
