I still like the keyboards from NMB which they oemed to SUN, SGI and Compaq.
Unfortunatly NMB doesn't make them anymore, only membrane ones now. But you
might still find places which sell them. Otherwise I like Cherry keyboards
as they are still using real switches on several of their models. Another
good keyboard, old style IBM with loud click, is from http://www.pckeyboard.com/
but it looks like their website is having a problem right now.
