As someone who has spent years pounding on Cybernex XL83, Ann Arbor
Ambassador, and Courier 3270-clone keyboards, mine feels right at
home.
One keyboard that I didn't mind using for quite some time was one from
NCR GmhH, for their 286 PC. Made by Cherry, with F1-F10 down the left
side, where they belong and F11-F32 across the top. Nice feel, but
lacking "real" F11 and F12 keys--the top row just emits codes for
Ctrl-F1-10 and Alt-F1-10. Were it not for that, I'd probably still be
using one today.
I used one enough to have worn a visible depression in the space bar
with my right thumb. I still have a few of the keyboards around.
