I have a Cherry G80 keyboard - very similar feel to the old IBM Series M
keyboard, but not so solidly built (euphemism for "heavy...). I'm very
well satisfied with it - decided to buy it when my old IBM Series M
developed a reluctance to work for the "1" key on the numeric keypad. A
friend whose PC I set up (with Ubuntu) also decided to go for the same
model. Cost was about £50 IIRC.
