My favorite keyboard is a 1995 ish Leading Edge DC2214 I have, but its switches started going bad so I'm using the dell until I get around to repairing it. It's so nice though, it has alps white switches and n key rollover unlike the 2 key rollover the dell has in some places. It's also just such a nice shape and nice color.

That is nice. White Alps are good switches. I have a Focus FK-5001 with them that I think I’m about to completely hand wire to both convert to USB and to make all the extra keys fully programmable. It’ll mean giving up the built-in calculator though. The other option is to hope that re-insulating all the jumpers will keep it from shorting on the steel plate, then re-installing the PCB.
In the same auction I got a FK-7000P with a trackball where the arrows would go, but that means the arrows are on these awful little flaps with mouse microswitches. It also needed a complete re-cap, so I just harvested the switches for a DIY build sometime down the line.
