Now that I think of it, the original Apple ADB
Extended Keyboard (the
"wedge" with the rainbow apple in the lower left hand corner, Rev. 1) was
very nice too. I'd probably slot that one above HP's. They cheapened the
Rev 2s a little bit when they streamlined them... not terrible but not
really remarkable, either.
I think the Appple Extended Keyboard used Alps switches, which are no longer available; on
the other hand, Matias has the "TactilePro" keyboard which uses a clone of the
these keyswitches (http://matias.ca/tactilepro4/).
Unicomp is apparently considering bringing out a compact Model-M keyboard later this year.
I already have 4 of the full-size keyboards, and I'll probably buy at least two of the
compact keyboards, if/when they cevome available.
