Metal keyboard?

20 years ago I was using an IBM PS-2 PC. It was slow as hell, even for
those days, but it had an excellent keyboard which, as I recall, was
made of metal. I found that I made far fewer typos using that than any
keyboards I have used since then (all plastic).

I tried searching online for metal keyboards, but they all seem to be
specialised, ruggedised ones, which is not what I want.

Do ordinary metal keyboards still exist out there?
 
OK, but it will be a while. I'm in the UK, and I am having it sent to my
friend in New York, who I'm visiting over Christmas / New Year.
 
LOL. I thought ordering this and having it shipped to Canada would be
too much trouble...

John,

I just got the keyboard home, and my first impressions are good. Not
sure if the keys themselves are actually metal, but the rest of it
certainly is. When it was shipped, the package weighed 6 lbs.

The longer key travel is also good - I think it helps with the typing
accuracy.

I have typed this message with no errors at all. That's good for me.

Just to remind you, it's from Unicomp.

Thanks for the follow-up, sounds like a good solution for those looking
for 'clickety' keyboards.
