I went to the dollar store today to buy some paper for a school project, and upon checking out, the cashier offered me a "EZ Eyes Large Print Keyboard (as seen on TV)". I bought it, because well it was a dollar and I thought it would look hilarious on my desk.

I was wrong... The keyboard doesn't look funny, it look freaking amazing.

$1 well spent.

Anything less then a top of the line mechanical keyboard feels the same to me in quality (obviously switches have a different feel ^_^)

Idk about that. My cm storm qiuickfire pro was $75, it's far beyond the quality of any old $20 keyboard, that's for sure. You can also get IBM Model M keyboards for around $50 nowdays.
