You have no idea how much I agree with you on this one!
I have recently switched from a Pentium D tower and I used the same keyboard on it I did for the last 25 years: Good ole' IBM.
Since the new i7 tower I now have uses only USB keyboards, I went for a HyperX alloy FPS which generates very much the same sound and feeling as the 1994 IBM PS/2.

To begin with, at the office, where I have to type-in
seriously and
quickly all day, I carry through an old IBM keyboard from one PC to the next since (literally) decades. Unfortunately I figure that at a point I won't be able to do it any longer due to connection standards or drivers or alike.
Last but not least, I have at home a laptop which is now 15 years old and definitely at its end-of-the-line under all aspects, but that I can't replace as all laptop keyboards today
suck. The chiclet keyboard of Sinclair Spectrum home computers were good by comparison. I also have seen laptops made with real mechanical keyboards for gaming, but aside of being very costy, they are also too large and too bulky and full of stuff I probably don't need and would never use. I also fear having assistence problems in case somthing fails, they're too much a "niche" product. I see no decent alternatives, though.
