Default Which 'forever' keyboard?

Cherry is the normal answer to this question. I have to say though that the
e normal failure mode of wired ones is the lead where it comes out of the
case.
I have a dell which is perfect except the cable is intermittent somewhere
in the strain relief, a misnomer, as it obviously was not good at relieving
strain!

I've chucked a good number of keyboards over the years.
I've 3 sets of Logitech wireless KB/mouse 2 of which are great but one not
so much so i'm going to replace it with wired.

So if i'm buying another I want (if it's even possible these days) a
decent one.

We have a keyboard in the workshop, an old beige lump, it's followed me
through my adult life and just refuses to give up.*

I'm sure I spent 30 quid on a Microsoft one for the missus the other year,
it's not currently in use so plainly wasn't worth the money.

Is there a modern day equivalent of the beige lumps of old, the sort of
thing you could beat someone to death with?

*Although son 2 nearly retired it, "this keyboard isn't working, have we
another one?" he said, applied his usual 'keep jabbing monkey boy'
technique until I tipped it over and shook about 3lb of detritus out of
it.
