Go on ebay and search for "IBM Model M" There are lots of them for 
auction, many overpriced though. You can usually get one for $15.00
if you look. They are indestructible, weigh a ton, clicky keys, buckling 
spring. Once you use one, you will be spoiled. Just make sure
that you get one with a ps2 connector, some of them have the larger old 
AT style connectors on them. There are adapters out there to convert to
ps2 and usb. Google search them to figure out all of the different model 
numbers.
