Recommendations for a good keyboard

Every so often, I find myself pining for the keyboard on my Sun 3/50 workstation. It just had the right "feel" to it. Older IBM PC keyboards had a similar feel (to me).

What keyboard do you really like and why?

I would go for one with keys, preferably US english characters and preferably standard layout (dont want to hit Y when I want N etc).

Personally, I like having multimedia controls on the keyboard.

YMMV

Being that i am not crazy about Microsoft software, I have found their Hardware (keyboards, mice) to work very well

I think that keyboard may have been made by KeyTronic. Do they even sell retail keyboards anymore? (Talk about the old days, the sun3/50 must have been from the late 80s?)

I really liked the old keyboards on the original PC-AT and the Dec VT-100 - loud, mechanical click. I'd try and get one now, but I don't think that my midnight surfing would be appreciated by Mrs & Baby MAN Pax, also the Mac options would be limited.
