I've found the clicky mechanical keyboards such as those that used to ship with old school IBM desktops, even with Windows keys and either PS 2or USB connections. I think they were more like $49 or $79, but I'd have to look up where I found them. If my memory isn't too far gone, I think I referred Curtis Delzer's wife to one of these, but that was years ago.
BTW John, yeah, I'm sure you do wear out $10 keyboards quickly. They're mostly crap, with membrane switches. Now these old mechanical buckle spring keyboards are a different animal altogether.
