IBM always made the best keyboards — computer or typewriter. The click was as perfect a typing tool as ever invented.

Laptop keyboards have no feel to me....typing this at a logitech Desktop keyboard,...not too bad .

I would respectfully disagree. I used to service
typewriters and the Olivetti keyboards
starting with the Praxis were adjustable. With a little
tuning the keys were like having a Timney target trigger
for each letter. Unfortunately the rest of the machine was
way too much like their cousin, the Fiat automobile.

I am using one right now. I go to used computer stores and buy them out whenever I find them; about $5-10 each on average. I HATE those corporate cubicle QuietKey keyboards. They have no feel to them. No soul.

I agree. Imo, the single best keyboard ever made was the one on the IBM 3279 mainframe terminal.

Holy cow, you're right. I had a keyboard many years ago that felt like it came off of an IBM Selectric, and I would kill for another one today. Amazing keyboard. I've heard people will pay upwards of $200 for a NOS IBM keyboard.
