Best keyboards you've used ever!

Mark> OK, this one is bound to get a few responses: List the best Mark> keyboards you have ever used. You might like the feel, number Mark> of function keys, layout (let's not forget Dvorak or more Mark> esoteric designs) or pure keyboard<->computer love (you might Mark> really get off on Vaxen). Judging just by feel and not by key repertoire or the like: 1. PLATO IV terminal keyboard, first generation (serial numbers under 100 or so) 2. PLATO IV next generation, or PLATO V keyboard. 3. DEC VT52/LA36 keyboard. PLATO 3 keyboards would rate highly (around #2) if only the keycaps stayed on straight, but the switch shafts they mount on are round so the caps turn and rub against their neighbors... :-( On the "this one sucks" list: LA30 keyboards (also found on some GT40s, I think) -- recognizable by having somewhat oversized and very square-ish top surfaces of the keys. Most other keyboards (VT100, LK200 and later, typical PC keyboards) are ok, unremarkable but unoffensive. paul
