I have a CoolerMaster MK750 on one machine and a Corsair K70 on the other (quite similar to your K68, IIRC).
Before that, two Logitech G11's that lasted > 10 years. Technically, the one is still ok -- I killed the membrane under the shift key on the other )': Then I went full-mechanical (Cherry Red). I prefer to have the same feel for keyboard at home and work and the two I have now are so similar in feel that it will do. I'm also looking forward to at least a decade on these!

If you say that getting the money
is the most important thing
You will spend your life
completely wasting your time
You will be doing things
you don't like doing
In order to go on living
That is, to go on doing things
you don't like doing
Which is stupid.

Nice

The pricing looked ridiculous, but if they last ten years they'd be cheaper than a new 10 euro keyboard every six months.

Unicomp Ultra Classic Buckling Spring (an IBM Model M repro). Great, classic feel. Except it is still at the office, which I haven't been to since March. So for now I am stuck with a POS Dell provides for "free".

G-Skill MX Red light with blue cherry's. It's anti-spill and I changed the original caps for an engraved with transparent cover so I think these keys will have the letters disappear just a few minutes after the end of the world

Now THAT's a gaming keyboard!

Absolutely! But you know, I am not a gamer, I'm a developer. I bought it for these reasons: 1) Durability. It lasts forever. 2) The Blue Cherry's are the best for my taste. 3) The red light is soft for working. (Multi color can be a little overwhelming) and 4) Because it has 6 x 3 macro programable keys which is fantastic to avoid repetitions for folding, unfolding, build... etc, functions that usually require CTRL + xx, CTRL + yy or something like that.

Never treated it to a full cup of coffee although it has had a few slops over the years
Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro
Got to be around 20 years old now and the areas where my fingers don't touch is really filthy. I would clean it but don't want to take the risk of breaking it and it is all my dirt after all

I got a membrane, backlit Redragon gaming keyboard K512RGB. It is a comfortable keyboard, but I would like to better understand the backlight. It progresses across the keyboard with all the colors of the rainbow. It is pretty but doesn't appear to have a function beyond that. It didn't come with a manual. I liked it well enough that I got another for a machine in my lab.

Ditto; it came with software that can make the lights progress in different patterns, colors and speed, and there's an API, but haven't seen any software that actually makes use of it.

Sadly, I would have to decompile the software to make it work on my several Linux workstations, and I have been too lazy to do that (so far).

I have an old Dell keyboard that came with one of their machines. I actually had 2 of them but I too dropped a cup of coffee into it and went to the backup.
I wish it was wireless.
I use a Logitech K520 on my other machine. It is wireless.

"Torture device"?
I like the rectangular ones, because it is predictable for my fingers where the keys will be. It's not like someone pulling your finger-nails. It's not even as annoying as wearing a bra in summer.

Typing is typing muscle memory corrects for all the how hard is the key to push down and the noise keeps me awake HA HA BackLit would be nice but my biggest feature that is a deal maker is the little cushion pad at the bottom of the keyboard MINE IS a Kensington Pro Fit Wireless Comfort Desktop Set
The word SET means I get a wireless Mouse with more buttons than I know what to do with box says it is Spill Proof (I am not testing it is a 3.5 hour drive to buy a new one) I suffer from IWSWIB syndrome

I'm were the coffee is, and don't want to be distanced from the keyboard.

CM Storm QuickFire Rapid 10 keyless with brown keys to keep it fairly quiet. I've got 4 of them for some of the computers around the house. No RGB lighting for me!

Makes me wonder whom you afraid to wake up. Never considered my typing a noise; the first neighbor to complain may be surprised.

Heh, not the neighbors. It's the guys I game with over the internet. They didn't complain but they could hear the clickity-clack when I was key mashing.

Aight, good point; I'm on "push to talk", with the button to activate it on the mouse for that reason. That and the humming, singing and whining

Looks like an Amiga-keyboard?

Is it worth the price of admission?
One thing you should keep in mind is that the Avant Prime and Stellar are PC keyboards that use a PS/2 connection.
That IS stellar; especially if the most important feature is just a PS/2 connection.
