I have and still use real *click* keyboards like the old IBM. Old Focus
2001. I have several, some old XT versions with the big honking 5pin DIN
that still work unlike these newer mush-boards. Yep, they are noisy but
they work! Just like that little Energizer Bunny, they keep going and
going.... Only two I have ever died, one from a cup of coffee(I use lots
of milk) the other some other sticky beverage...just hell on the
controller chip!
Focus uses the large L enter keys so I get all messed up on other
keyboards. Not sure what I will do when I finally get a new mobo without
a keyboard port!

Take care,
