WORST keyboards ever (was Re: Best keyboards you've used ever!)

Dell laptop keyboards (If you type hard you can actually deform the
keyboard)
Commodore 64 (Keys too tall, weird layout, poor feedback, oddly shaped caps)
ANY membrane keyboard, including Sinclair/Timex
ANY industrial rubber keyboard, including those new rollup keyboards (They
use them at Bose stores)

And, although they are incredibly cool looking, the metal keyboards they use
at some fancy trade show kiosks.
BMW uses them at car shows, they are really cool looking, have the neat
German "QWERTZ" layout, and have all kinds of cool, useful internet buttons
like "www." ".com" and ":)" However typing on them is like tapping your
fingers on cement.
