Who makes a good keyboard besides IBM. I have one of their older versions
and I like it, but switching to black, the IBM are quite expensive, but they
are sturdy.

Any suggegtions?

What kind of keyboard are you looking for? Membrane based or
Mechanical? Wireless? etc etc

Mechanical or membrane USB type

You most likely will have to go with membrane based keyboards if you
want USB also. Mechanical keyboards seem hard to find I think IBM is
the last maker of these kind of keyboards. If you want one you might
check E-bay. If my memory serves me correctly Northgate, IBM and
Maxiswitch(Im using one now) made good mechanical keyboards.
Otherwise, Microsoft and Logitech make good keyboards.

I would suggest that you go down to your local computer store and try
typing on some keyboards to see which is good for you.

hope this helps

For what it's worth, PCKeyboard.com still make 'em! They're a
Kentucky-based company that bought the keyboard technology from
Lexmark Int. about eight years ago.

If you love the old IBM "clicky" mechanichal-switch keyboards, go
there. They also repair old keyboards. Check 'em out.
