Clicky ergonomic
marrt:
I'm trying to find an ergonomic kb with mechanical switches. Preferably with tactile feedback. I've looked for years for an IBM M15 and have given up. I'm currently using a rare Reveal ergonomic with mechanical Alps switches. It's not too bad but I was wondering if there were other options (other than DataDesk Smartboard which I didn't like too much).

Reveal - never heard of it. I have a Northgate Evolution though (white Alps):

I find it too hard on my fingers, though. So I'm using the MS Natural Multimedia most of the time. It's a membrane, but feels clicky enough, especially compared with the MS NEK4000.

This kb may be older than you (lol)…it has an original XT style connector (pre-PS). I’m guessing 1985 vintage. I think Reveal was a generic office products name.
I looked at the Northgate once before. I didn’t like the funky layout of the arrow keys.
I used to have an original Northgate but threw it away a couple years ago once I made the move to ergonomic keyboards. Should have kept it I guess.
