Search for the Ultimate Keyboard

I ordered a Sun Type 7 USB keyboard today to test out. We’ll see if it’s any better than my current favorite of a 15-year-old Apple Extended Keyboard II connected with an iMate ADB-to-USB adapter.

I also like the Mattias Tactile Pro, but it’s just too loud (very “clacky”, but not near as bad as an IBM Model M).

    Take back what you said about the Model M. It’s what I’m typing on right now. How many new keyboards do you expect to still be working 15 years from now? Yeah, it’s loud but that way it sounds like I’m really working when all I’m doing is commented on blogs. :) My keyboard at home is the very sought after Lexmark Select-Ease. An ergo keyboard with Model M type keys. It’s probably worth more than the computer it’s attached to.
