SWMBO treats her keyboard like her piano, hitting the keys more in forte

Can anyone recommend a keyboard (not wireless) with really hard-wearing
keycaps?

An old IBM Model M. I have two, both in use daily, one of which is 23
years old, and the other is a 19 year youngster.


I was thinking that I was the only person to keep a keyboard that long!

I just hope that they don't stop making motherboards with the little
PS/2 keyboard/mouse sockets.

there are USB adapters for that.

I still have the PS/2 that it came with but I stopped using that in 1998
IIRC.
