The author shares a humorous, nostalgic ode to their Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboard 1.0A, revealing their loyalty to it despite widespread preference for mechanical keyboards. They detail the keyboard's unique characteristics, from its quiet keys to its untouched media buttons, while reflecting on the reactions from others who view their choice with disdain. With their last keyboard on the brink of retirement, they contemplate the inevitable transition and express no shame in their steadfast attachment to this vintage device, asserting that it is truly the best keyboard ever made.
I have had friends and co-workers react with genuine horror upon hearing of my use of this device. To not be part of the mechanical cult is, apparently, shun-worthy.
Yes, it has the most ludicrous array of "media" buttons across the top in a fancy arch, and no, I've never pressed one of them once in the twenty-ish years I've been using this keyboard.
I'm not ashamed, and you're not going to make me ashamed. The Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboard 1.0A is the best keyboard ever made.
When this one goes, that's it. I'm done. I feel like retirement is my only option.
