It's a standalone thinkpad keyboard, including trackpoint!
Other than that, I'm with Oko on the Model M keyboard.
Oko said:You told me about that one a while ago. I still have not tried nor seen stand alone ThinkPad keyboard
but that one does have a promise to be better than IBM M-type (really should by called Lexmark M-type). If I recall correctly free alone ThinkPad keyboards are only available here in U.S. Are you selling them in Nederlands now?
I have used both and I still use them on sparc because they are Mini-DIN 5 type keyboards. IBM M-type keyboard is PS2 keyboard. So in a sense we are comparing oranges and apples. While I concede that Sun keyboards are excellent I still think that IBM M-type is slightly better. On another hand Sun's keyboards come with real 3-button Unix mouse attached to them. Yes, on Sun's hardware the mouse is attached to the keyboard I still have not encountered better mouse than the Sun's.vrachil said:I use a sun type 7 and a type 5 keyboard.
While it wasn't cheap, it was propably the best keabord i've used (according to my standards...)

Someone had a sense of humor.
expl said:Do not get me wrong the keyboard is good but would not use it again due to the noise levels it generates, I prefer soundless plastic mechanisms. Old IBM Ms are as loud as an old typewritter and will get on someones nerves sooner or later.
