Yes. Don't buy new keyboards. Older keyboards had two features which make them more attractive to me (and you can get adapters for the cable connection).
(1) They had a circuit board which was not made out of flimsy plastic. It was stiff and allowed the manufacturer to use key mechanisms, in which (2) the keys had a slight "click" to them. This was some sort of tension spring action which was probably more expensive to make, but would assure that when you press the keys, your press was interpreted by the keyboard as either deliberate, or just a slight weight of your resting finger on the key (unconscious press). In the latter case, no key press signal would be sent to the computer, since your unconscious key press would not engage the "click" (the key would not go down all the way). These keyboards made more noise than modern keyboards. Maybe that's why they went out of style. There's nothing quite as annoying as placing your hands on the keyboard, looking off into the distance for a while thinking about what you are going to write, then, at the very moment when your inspiration blooms and you catch that fleeting glimpse of an ingeniuos thought, and, as you prepare to type, you quickly glance at your cursor's position, and see something like "ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd". Or when you're in Speedy and one press of your arrow key make the cursor jump by two half-steps. Liudas From: David W.
