10 Gifts for the Geek Who Has Everything
Mechanical Keyboard: Unicomp Ultra Classic
Your favorite geek will appreciate an upgraded keyboard that will allow them to type faster and game better when sitting at their desk. For the ultimate typing experience, nothing beats the feel of mechanical keys that spring back at you. I can type 10 to 20 wpm faster with the Unicomp Ultra Classic ($79), which uses the same “buckling spring” technology as the old IBM PC keyboards. Another solid choice is Rosewill’s attractive RK-9100 ($119) illuminated mechanical keyboard.

These are all great gift ideas, but I went a different direction for my Geek who has everything. I initially didn’t know what to get my son; I thought he already had every gadget known to man. Thankfully, one of my coworkers at DISH gave me the idea of getting a DISH Sling Adapter. Once I connect that to my DISH Hopper DVR, my son will be able to stream any live program or any recorded program from our DVR to his phone. He is a big pop culture TV and Movie buff, so I know he will love being able to access that stuff at any time.

About the keyboard, if the one receiving the gift is a gamer, don’t buy him/her a Unicomp Ultra Classic (it is not good for gaming since it can’t detect more than 2 key presses at the same time, it is great for typing though). A great keyboard for gaming and typing is a RK-9100 with Cherry Blue switches, or a Razer BlackWidow 2013 with Cherry Blue Switches. A great keyboard for skill-based games (but not so good for typing) is a Corsair Vengeance K60 with Cherry Red Switches.
