We all love mechanical keyboards, but are there any normal keyboards that hold a special place in your heart?

I for one love the keyboard on the old IBM thinkpads.

I also have a special place in my heart for the old Dell membrain keyboards that used to be in every school library in the 90's

Not any specific model, but I kinda like low-profile keyboards using scissor switches often found in laptops. Not as great as a mechanical, but I like how they bring over some of the aspects of clicky/tactile switches while also being low profile.

I probably type fastest on a keyboard like that, but I still don't like how the actuation is all the way at the bottom. That makes it a bit annoying for gaming in my opinion, where you need to hold pressure to hold a key down

I feel the same way! They're pretty neat.
