When it finally breaks, look up Unicomp. They have excellent buckling

Yup, know all about Unicomp. I restore Model Ms as a hobby and have one
of Unicomp's black/white/gray UltraClassic USB models too. Bought quite
a few parts from them to do repairs on old abused Ms.

I assume you're talking IBM model M keyboards. I have three of them that
I use regularly--this one that I'm typing on now--and you can't beat them
for quality, touch, and longevity. I would bet these are 40 years old, at
least, and they're going strong. Bought them all for peanuts at the old
computer flea-markets in New Jersey. But they're too loud for an office!
(Two are full size, with two batches of special keys on the right, one is
without the number keypad, all have the function keys at the top.) If I
ever have to use Windows, ALT+ESC equals the left Windows key.
