I have this ANCIENT OmniKey 101

that weighs like 10 pounds, I swear is from the 1980s IBM computer days, complete with those AWESOME light-touch clickety-clak keys, and there is NO sign of wear on this puppy.  I used to blow through 1 or 2 keyboards a year and this baby is absolutely the hardest working piece of equipment I have ever had the pleasure of owning. 

If you like this style of clickey keys, I got this one off E-Bay and it's called an Omni Key 101 by Northgate.  It's definitely old school....not pretty, no fancy light-up keys, but my fingers absolutely FLY on this thing and I highly recommend it.  Of course, I use the noise-cancelling earbuds so I don't hear the clicky keys, but the response time is second to none.
