 I rather like the PS/2-style granite colored SGI keyboards/mice.  The
 keyboards have a nice feel to them. 
 How hard is it to find key caps and micro switches for these keyboards? I
 think I have one of the granite keyboards somewhere, but it has some
 missing/damaged keys. If I can find a source for the parts, it might be
 worth repairing, since the rest of it appears to be in good condition.

 Are these keyboards true PS/2 type keyboards, or are they only compatible
 with the newer SGI systems? 
The granite ones are genuine PS/2 interface and they work fine on PCs
though I've heard rumours that the reverse is not always true.
