suggestions for good 00's-style scissor switch keyboard

[wideyes]

I'm in the market for a quiet-ish keyboard, and since I've always liked scissor switches, I'm wanting to go with them for this purchase. Trouble is, lots of the scissor-switch keyboards these days are in styles I don't like, such as chiclet or the ultra-shallow Apple keyboards. I remember there were a lot of PC laptop keyboards in the mid 00's that had nice scissor switches, and I liked them. I have a Lenovo T520 with keycaps that I like (square with very little space in between), but I find them too stiff and the travel a touch too deep for my tastes. Anybody recommend a nice standalone board with medium-shallow travel, light actuation, older-style square keycaps and scissor switches? Thanks in advance

What you mean with "styles I don't like, such as chiclet or the ultra-shallow Apple keyboards".
The apple a1243 is a very good and silent keyboard. I've used it for ages. Travel distance is 2mm, but as many studies have shown, the travel distance has no effect on wpm, but it actually fatigues less than a 4mm travel keyboard.

Travel distance doesn't affect -Ultimate WPM-

However,   less travel makes typing easier to time.

I don't think I follow, do you mean to say that crossing of time zones will make the measuring of time elapsed more difficult?

Well as you know time moves faster with higher elevation.

The closer we are to the earth body,  the faster we accomplish our Typing.

This is the speed b00ster effect involving Einstein's relativity.

IBM and Lenovo used to offer an older style scissor switch for enterprise use, just search Lenovo Keyboard on Ebay and look for what looks like a laptop keyboard in a case.

And hang onto your wallet.

The Cherry Stream 3.0 is a pretty typical full-size scissor switch keyboard with normal sized keys.  You could also try to find a used Logitech DiNovo for Laptaps or their older Illuminated Keyboard.  They both had normal keycaps and scissor switch mechanisms with a slightly longer travel (Perfect Stroke).  I thought they were the best to type on, short of mechanical keyboards, and they're very quiet.  I picked a decent condition Illuminated Keyboard at my local Goodwill for $5.00 recently.
