Microsoft can't touch IBM when it comes to quality keyboards.
The keyboard that came with my 8Mhz IBM PC-AT back in 1986 still gets
used every day and still works as good as the day I unpacked it. It's
an absolutely brilliant job of engineering and manufacturing.
I'm also very fond the IBM "space saver" keyaboard with the built in
"eraser nub" mouse keys and _without_ the waste-of-space numeric
keypad. I'm an engineer, not a checkout clerk at a grocery store...
I _really_ wanted to like my happy hacker keyboard, but the key action
was just too stiff and vague.
