I'm pretty sure that the word "fluids" should not be used in ANY context other than hydration.

|
 yeah, something like that.

MOIST

I was going to mention that one too. yeah, the word "moist" actually has no place in the English language other than pR0n movies, and dirty talk.

The part in the video where colors found their sorting bins was stunning.

Look up "fluidics".
A few logic gates were designed back in the early 1970s to demonstrate the concept of computing with fluids.

We'll just say I am a little picky, and old; and really don't want to change.
I have been using the Microsoft Internet Keyboard based keyboard for 20+ years now, the last 15 years or so have all been the Pro version with USB connectivity.
Me and my kb have an exclusive relationship; at the office and at home I have the same setup, including the MS Trackball Optical everywhere as well.
Prior to this kb I was using Type M or F keyboards back to the 80s
Now my home kb is near the point of no return. And they are getting hard to find. So I am going to purchase something new.
What I want-
1. I want to keep the same KB angle and rear height. My hands are molded at this angle now.
2. I would like to retain the special purpose keys for email, web, and if I can media controls.
3. Durability. Don't want to have to retrain my hands in 5 years to something different.
4. Full size.
I purchased an off-brand MX-Blue keyboard over the weekend and even though the size was a little smaller than I wanted, I could have learned to live with it. I guess it was off-brand as the Enter key was basically sitting at the detent level and other signs of being someone else's reject
Suggestions would be appreciated.

Ew, that sounds too modern for me.
101 keys ought to be enough for anybody.

Das Keyboard. They might not be cheap but darn, are they good!

I would find great use for the ruler component during gaming, to see how I measure up to the competition.
...before I grab my coat, the styling and the clicky-keys are both quite pleasing.

Me too! 
I'm still using an old gray HP keyboard (with a ps/2 to usb adapter) from 1998 when I bought my first Windows system. I've tried others, but none feel as good as this one. It's been a couple of years since the last disassembly and cleaning and I've got a few letters that occasionally stick, so I've been seriously thinking about a replacement. I'll be watching the responses, likely for kbs to avoid. Thanks!

I have a few IBM keyboards of similar vintage -- "they take a licking and keep on clicking!"

Sacred mess. I wonder how you can deal with new frameworks if only a new / different keyboard is a problem 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

OMG! Those are so beautiful!

Wow -- looks useful for times when you need to push those bits on/off without electricity!

Anandtech reviewed a similar model. It looked pretty; but the non-standard keycaps didn't work well for actual typing. 
Final Words & Conclusion - The Azio Retro Classic Mechanical Keyboard Review: Eyecatching, But Stiff
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I guess those are made for people who have problems making their expenses suffice.

Get an ErgoDox EZ on ebay.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Only get CP points if someone clicks on the link? Right?

I can't make any particular recommendation on what keyboard to buy (only you can decide what you like, and it's all very subjective), but the one recommendation I will make is this:
Once you find one you like, get some spares. Make sure they all work, but put the spares back in the box and leave them there until the one you use daily dies.
I'm very peculiar about my mice and keyboards - too many variations, too easy to find something you dislike. I went for a good decade or two primarily using the same type of mouse (the original white and gray MS IntelliMouse) and was lamenting the fact that they're impossible to find when mine finally became unusable...and then ~2 years ago they came out with a model that was, for all intents and purposes, identical to the original except for its color (which is entirely irrelevant to me). I got one, tried it out, decided it felt very close to the original, and bought 5 spares - hopefully enough to last me a lifetime. If someone wants to borrow a mouse from me, they're not there for that purpose. That's my private stash, and I'll get very defensive about it.
I also have a spare keyboard. I like the one I'm currently using enough to have gotten a spare, but it's still not quite "perfect" to me...otherwise I would have gotten a few more and been done with it.
There's nothing worse than having tools you don't like. Getting some extras is absolutely worth the expense, IMO.

And that is why I had 3 of these at one time, then 2 + spare parts, and now I am down to 1
