[TriLUG] OT Keyboards

[David Both via TriLUG]

I have  several of the Unicomp buckling spring keyboards from 
http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UB40P4A. They are as much like 
the great old IBM model M as you can get. I love the feel and the sound 
they make. I will never go back to other types of keyboards. I have 
tried many different mush-key keyboards, and a few of the other 
mechanical that have Cherry MX keys. I like the Cherry MX but the feel 
was still not quite right and they always broke within a year.
