Is it "clicky"? I love clicky keyboards!!
Actually, no. It -is- the rubber domed kind, though it's an early incarnation of a Keytronic keyboard. In fact, it was a keyboard that "failed" it's final test and a friend who worked at Keytronic at the time brought it to me. He used to bring home lots of scraped keyboards. A few replaced domes, some un-sticky keys, and viola! A keyboard that has lasted a darn long time. :D

I have a good friend who worked there for years.

He had several keytronic keyboards at his house... all in arabic (which was funny, but difficult to use if you didn't know how to type properly)
