Microsoft can't touch IBM when it comes to quality keyboards.

The keyboard that came with my 8Mhz IBM PC-AT back in 1986 still gets
used every day and still works as good as the day I unpacked it.  It's
an absolutely brilliant job of engineering and manufacturing.

I'm also very fond the IBM "space saver" keyaboard with the built in
"eraser nub" mouse keys and _without_ the waste-of-space numeric
keypad.  I'm an engineer, not a checkout clerk at a grocery store...

I _really_ wanted to like my happy hacker keyboard, but the key action
was just too stiff and vague.
