Im a trained, touch typist, and I need the spring back and the travel of a keyboard to be accurate.I'm also a touch-typist, but my favorite keyboard at the moment is one of those Apple thingies that has almost no key travel; just enough to keep my spine happy.
That being said, the nicest keyboard I ever used was on an IBM Office System/6 word processor. Looked, sounded, and felt exactly like a Selectric.
Thanks guys. ;)
In college I used a Selectric, and LOVED IT!!! My 2nd experience with computers was also in college, with an IBM key punch machine, and it felt exactly like a Selectric.
Later on, using a Model M keyboard was close, but there's nothing like a "real" Selectric keyboard.

I use a Matias Mini Quiet Pro Keyboard for PC:
Really excellent and it has the key feel you are looking for.
Warning: expensive.
