> List the best keyboards you have ever used.

First on that list is a Symbolics Lisp Machine keyboard. I don't know
their nomenclature, but it was the one in a rounded sort of case,
physically reminiscent of...

#2: Sun type-3. In good shape, of course. The Sun type-3 is notable
in that when in good shape it's one of the best I've ever had the
pleasure to use, but when in bad shape it's one of the worst.

Old HP pocket calculators. (That style of keyboard would be horrible
for typing on, but HP was smart enough to use other kinds of key when
making keyboards for typing on. The calculator keyboards were great
for what they were used for.)

The TeleVideo 950 or 925 (the keyboards are almost identical).

There was a time when I considered the Hazeltine 1500 keyboard to be
top-of-the-line. Today, I cannot understand how I ever felt that way.

My Korg C-3500. Soft touch, decent velocity sensing, full size. I
rate this one better than the one I learned on, which was a real
mechanical, because it's more uniform and reliable.
