The PC world is filled with upgrade addicts; people always looking for the newer, faster, better part. That's why the Omnikey is striking; it's a keyboard from the 80s that was so good, every keyboard since was compared to it. It even inspired its own fan club. Weighing in at 6 lbs. with a solid steel plate at the bottom, it was most known for the satisfying 'click' each key gave upon a press. Northgate went out of business; many people stockpiled the Omnikey for future use.
