Aha, I found a detailed description of how my buckling spring keyboards produce that wonderful tactile and audible feedback.
Here’s an animated image that shows how it works.

Mmmmmm…. Sweet, sweet buckling clickity clickity goodness…..
Shall I plug www.pckeyboard.com now or shall I mention I don’t have to thanks to raiding the trunk of Mr. Bug’s car? I’m still tempted to buy a new one just to do the Windows-E and Windows-D tricks again.

Yeah, I need the extra couple of keys for mac goodness too. My old school ibm keyboard is great except for whne I need to reach to the notebook’s keyboard to do some command-something key sequence.

Update: Zarquil and Trever did buy some spanking new usb keyboards with the extra ‘lindows’ / ‘mac’ keys from pckeyboards.com
Wonderful clicky goodness.
