I'll disagree loudly with my IBM keyboards (my old model M as well as the thinkpads I've used).

Sorry, I can't hear you over that racket!

But in reality my favorite keyboard before I switched to the MS keyboards was the one that came with my original IBM PC with the clicky keys. The biggest downside was that my mom and dad always knew when I was on the computer!

they were better than the $20 crap you could buy in staples

but definitely not the best ones around

Likewise the Intellimouse Pro is my favourite mouse. Sadly they seem to have discontinued it in favor of the Surface mouse which has atrocious ergonomics.

They also discontinued the ergo keyboard that I am using to type this. I'm very worried that when this keyboard goes out I won't have another option.

There is a clone on the market, which I use at home, that so far has been pretty promising, but we'll see if it has they lasting power that this one does.

Kinesis makes a keyboard that's basically the Microsoft ergo layout but mechanical and you can remap the keys. I have one and like it. https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/mwave/

Glove80 is a lot nicer in several ways if you're ok with the Chocs
