Joe, I'm not sure about new keyboards, but you can still find the old IBM like
I use. Its heavy (very) keys are solid "click" style, and the letters do not
fade unless sand-blasted. Best feel of any keyboard I've ever used. I hate
most "win" style keyboards. Just search on the web, you should be able to
find some good used ones for cheap.
My friend Carl Lafferty says I can use it for personal defense, chock the
wheels of a car, a shield in medevial tournaments, etc, etc,... <grin>
