I think we got used to crappy cheap keyboards but they are better then the
80's crappy cheap keyboards. IBM Model M, Northgate, Apple extended
keyboards, etc cost a decent chunk of change new, more then a new knock off
tablet costs today (a whole computer). Personally I still use Model M's on
all my PCs (have a stack of cleaned ones in the basement) plus a few
Northgates. I just like the feel of them compared to anything new (heck
anything USB). I don't think Apple made a decent keyboard since the ADB days
(Haven't tried one of their chicklet keyboards yet). IBM Thinkpads had decent
keyboards for a laptop, but that was when Thinkpads were IBM, the new Lenovo
ones cause diehard Thinkpad users to complain.
If you want a real buckling spring keyboard and don't want to spend a
whole pile on them, I can't recommend Unicomp highly enough.

I've got a few of their keyboards and they're excellent.
