Best keyboards you've used ever!

1. The keyboards that came with IBM 3179 terminals. 24 PF keys, Clear key, Erase to EOF key, backtab key, newline key and enter key, plus numerous others. I love the feel of the keys. Okay, it had no esc key, the left shift key was way too small, the < and > were on the same key and that key was where part of the left shift key should have been. The feel of the key and having all the keys that should be there(the ESC key wasn't needed with an IBM mainframe) made up for those deficiencies. I wish I could strap one of those keyboards to my pc for use with a 3270 emulator. 2. As far as PC keyboards I think the one I have been using for years may be an IBM Model M that folks have been talking about. It has a feel very similar to the 3179 keyboards, but no where near as many keys. I got it back in the 486 days by accident. My previous PC keyboard died. I stoped by a little computer shop to get a replacement. They were out of stock but had a used IBM keyboard that they let me borrow until they got more in. They called when they got more keybaords in. I told them that I really liked the feel of the loner they gave me and they told me to keep it. I've been using it ever since until recently. 3. Recently I've reluctantly given my favorite IBM keyboard a break and have been trying out a Boundless 108 key keyboard. It has a "Do" key and a "Help" key along with a few extra function keys which make it nice for telnetting to my VAX from my Linux box. I like all the extra keys but the feel just isn't the same as the IBM. Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net
