Lo

I'm trying to find a new 'clicky' microswitch keyboard like the one I =
bought
yonks ago. I went into PC world today and they were all membrane type =
ones
and they all seem to be cordless as well which I'm not insterested in.
Doing a search on dabs seems to bring up a similar list of cheapy =
keyboards
or one of those interweb keyboards with lots of useless extra buttons =
across
the top.

I would appreciate it if anyone has seen the following recently to point =
me
in the right direction.

-Microswitch keys (i.e. each key is it's own switch) thus the satisfying
click -USB

The one I bought a few years back cost a lot (#60+) and it's still going
strong. But it's a 5 Pin DIN which I've converted to PS-2 and now my =
laptop
docking station is USB only. Even with a PS-2 -> USB converter I still =
have
problems as the \ | key does not work which is rather a pain as I do a =
lot
of unix work.

tia
