    Any Northgate keyboards and stuff like IBM Model F's sell for more then $20. I prefer IBM Model M's for home use (have a small stack of cleaned ones).



    The old original Northgates (a computer manufacturer that for some reason made keyboards as well) had double injected keycaps (one for the key, the other for the label) so the letters do not wear off (pop one off and look at the back you will see what I mean). You can but some new manufactured Northgate (different company name same design molds) but they are $200+ each.

    New keyboards tend to be mushy crap, and Apples going back to chicklet style keycaps has me scratching my head (those used to be reserved for cheap budget computers in the 80's).
