Dell SK-8135
It's an old keyboard, I think from 2005-2007, but it's one of the best keyboards I've used, some function and multimedia keys.
It's the keyboard where I can type the fastest way possible :)
I bought an expensive mechanical keyboard myself from Razer I hate it because the key width is so small so I naturally hit the wrong keys and it's too dang loud. Now I'm trying to find old membrane keyboards. I think keyboards have gone down in general they're no longer practical and I'm 27 yrs old so it's not like I'm not with the times.
Been using UNIX since the late 80s; Linux since the mid-90s; virtualization since the early 2000s and spent the past few years working in the cloud space.

They had one 99go.com/item/20018236460 "Dell DELL SK-8135 Bluetooth wireless keyboard" ... I had one, the only difference was that it didn't have the two USBs...makes sense because of the power draw...but you got the same size/design/clickity-clack etc. FYI.
I'm a web sysop and support engineer. My skills are mainly in back-end: Java, Linux, Python, PostgreSQL, Git, and GitLab. Currently I'm learning front-end skills: JavaScript, and Ruby.

The Sun4 keyboard (the one that shipped with the SPARCStation 2) was the best keyboard Sun ever put out. Throughout the 90s, I dragged one with me from job to job.
SGI's US-101 that came with the Indigo22 Impact series was pretty decent too.

You want expensive mechanical, try one of these beasties!
I want Dell to bring back the SK-8135 and either make it wireless and/or have that LED backlighting.

That's my old reliable standby which I let the kids use on the home PC. (I use a re-arranged Sun Type 6 myself, for it's Unix nostalgia).
The Dell takes a beating well, keys aren't too bad for a rubber-dome, media keys are handy. I leave this one in QWERTY too.
Euw... Type 6.

I agree, the Type 4 was a pretty nice keyboard. I can't find one that's also USB though, and my Type 6 was a dumpster refugee.
I'd chose an IBM Model M remake over the SGI.
The new Kinesis Freestyle would be a good, ergo facsimile of the Sun layout, if you add a number pad.
Now this is unique!
