Spent $1 for 2 keyboards about 15 yrs ago. Best $1 I've spent.
The keyboards?

      IBM Model M - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard

When a key starts sticking, I swap the "spare" keyboard in and clean the dirty
one later.  The right shift was was sticking a little last week. Popped the key,
a little soap and water with an old toothbrush - good as new.

The feel is fantastic.

Two Downsides:
 * I wish it didn't click, but the feel is too good and they definitely last.
 * No "super" key.

BTW, the "N" is perfect still - this must be from 1990 or before, right?
