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

I know its technically still a 'mechanical' keyboard but its not an MX style switch: IMB Model M. I still daily drive one for work even though I can't use some shortcuts (no win/super key) and I have a handful of modern mechanical keyboards at home.

If not that, then probably the one I had for work a few years back, similar era but membrane, unknown brand. It had a little bit of an old smell to it and found it in an abandoned warehouse at work. Left it for my replacement when I left that job.
