One good thing about most of the old IBM PCs of the '80s is

I still use a genuine IBM PS/2 keyboard, connected via a USB
adapter.

A company in Kentucky still makes this type of mechanical
keyboard, available with USB or PS/2 interface:

Nice keyboard - at $115 US

hmm, mine was in the 80s.

Oh yes, the clicky clack keyboards. Heavy *******s too. You could knock
somebody out if you hit them upside the head with one and it wouldn't
hurt the keyboard. [g]
