Mechanical Keyboards
bhtooefr:
You can actually get one new, with Windows (or Mac, but that one kinda sucks) keys, and all: http://pckeyboard.com/
And somehow they made them UGLIER than before. Still made in Lexington, Kentucky, though, using some of IBM/Lexmark's old tooling, in an old furniture factory.
ankhtahr:
I like Unicomp keyboards. The 122 Emulator one is still my daily driver, and I consider it to be the best keyboard I own for daily usage, and it was the first mechanical keyboard I've ordered. (It wasn't the first to arrive though. The aforementioned 122-Key one arrived earlier, and two boards I've bought from a DT member arrived even earlier than that one (G84-4100 PTMDE, G80-1800 LUMDE-2 IIRC))
bhtooefr:
I still say, my ideal keyboard would be a Model F with Unicomp internal tolerances, after a couple years of use (took about that long for my EnduraPro to break in). Then, it'd have the Model F crispness, low preload, and low post-tactile force, but with the Unicomp low spring force.
My favorite two boards are my EnduraPro (despite the awful pointing stick implementation) and my aircraft carrier.

One nice thing about my Matias TactilePro is that the alternative characters you get with Opt and Shift-Opt are printed on the key-caps.

I remember typing on those when I was in college. I'd forgotten how loud they could be.
Those keyboards are probably the reason why I type so heavy on my current keyboard (which, I think, is on its third computer now).
