the Workhorse
    IBM model M with ps/2 connectivity

the Beauty
    Apple MacIntosh ADB #1, where the keyboard
    is hardly bigger than the keycaps.

.....

honorable mention
    DEC lk201.  It needs the custom edit/edt/tpu editor and custom DEC
    terminal stand, etc.  But great in that environment.

What he said. Exactly.

Favorite keyboard I've never had the privilege to use:

I have a picture on my wall. PS-2 connector, goes to a small keyboard 
unit. Unit says "Microsoft" on upper left corner and "intel inside" 
on upper right. The only three keys on it bear the legends:

<Ctrl>    <Alt>     <Delete>

:-)

Worst keyboard is anything with the little eraserhead pointing device 
in the middle. Distracts from typing, useless for pointing.
