I replaced my old SGI keyboard (loved it, no windows key :) ) with an old IBM p9200...it wore out as it was already when I got it. I love that (this) thing, got lucky and was able to replace it with a never been used unit from the thrift store for $4...whoo hoo. I'm not even sure that it's that old of a model, but it's great...when I got the new one it was like have a brand new pair of shoes!<div>

keyboards.<br>

On the other hand, my IBM KB-8923 is still louder than the modern Apple<br>
keyboards the rest of my office uses. It's rubber-dome, but it's *good*<br>
rubber-dome. See also:<br>

One comment there: "Too bad too, that some people mistake this keyboard for<br>
the model M. I guess it has to do with the tactile feel of the keys and the<br>
fact that it does make more noise than most rubber domes made today."<br>
