I have to admit if there was a mass produced version of that keyboard that felt right I would buy one.
I really do love the way that looks. Also, there is something so wrong with almost all keyboards today. They all feel too mushy. They work and I get good speed, but nothing had the "feel" like the old IBM keyboards on the original pc or even dare I say it the Selectric. Wow, that makes me sound old and *feel* old.
