very nice.
At the moment I'm using a BTC (Taiwanese) keyboard with a gap between the
T-Y, G-H and B-N key pairs. Oh, and it's got a Synaptics Touchpad fitted.
Nice keyboard, but it's a bit too, er... QUIET!
I want an IBM PS/2 full-of-microswitches really-clicky real-dream-to-use
keyboard!!! Anyone feel like parting with one? At this point I don't even
give a damn if I have to pull the thing apart and fix it myself - I want a
clicky keyboard :-) :-)
Cherry make some quite nice ones with MK or ML series keyswitches, including
a little lap-top size one. Not cheap and hard to find but quite good.
I've been using one of their G80s for a while - since I ran out of IBM
ones anyway. In the UK keyboard.com sell re-furbished IBMs and also
some Cherry models.

The future was never like this!
I know
Mr. Duell may not like my suggestion... but why not just find
yourself an IBM PS/2 'clicky' keyboard and use that, plugged into
the PS/2
The only reason I would dislike that suggestion is that it's one
less
keyboard for me ;-). I _love_ those keyboards -- I am typing on one at
the moment.
