There are a lot of keyboards with cherry mechanical switches, e.g. das, filco etc but actual cherry ones are quite hard to come by as most of their keyboards use the same mushy membrane design as the other cheap ones and are equally tulip.

Spooky, Mr C is still using a keyboard almost identical to the Model M on his PC and refuses to use anything else.

I think I have, or had, one of those IBM ones.

I have a feeling I might have chucked it out.

I want to go home now to see.

The only keyboards I don't like are the clackety cheap ones.

I've never come across a mouse pad I like. Horrid things - They keep registering clicks just because one's thumb is hovering over them!
