Umm... I was very devoted to the original Macally Icekey USB Slim Keyboard for a while. It was one of the first full-sized keyboards that I ever knew with laptop style scissor switches. However, it was not the most durable, and I went through several of them (and they weren't exactly cheap). I got to where I always kept a spare one in reserve. I don't remember exactly when I stopped using them, but I still have my last spare Icekey, unused, in its original box.
One amusing quirk of the Icekey was that it had an extra blank key on the bottom row. The bottom row was. . .
[control] [alt/option] [⌘] [ --- space --- ] [⌘] [alt/option] [control] [blank]
And the blank key does nothing. I mean really, it's dead. It sends no code.
I also still have an iMac DV keyboard. It's a compact(ish) layout with half-height arrow and F-keys, no nav cluster (the arrow keys are scrunched in below right-shift), but it does have a num pad. The key action I used to think was pretty good, though it hasn't aged well. These were notorious for coming with a very short cord, but I got one off fleaBay with a full-length cord, which must have been produced for some institutional customer.
I don't mind a rubber dome. I can handle a bit of mushiness and weak tactility but what really bothers me is if they're too stiff or feel "slow" coming back up like those mid 2000's Apple dome boards. Honestly most of the mass-produced Dell keyboards aren't so bad imo. However the newer ones are very slim scissor switches which are OK but they basically feel like typing on nothing compared to even a rubber dome.
Still the BTC dome with slider keyboards. The switches kick most modern switches' asses, and the boards are well-built to boot. Caps are crap, but MX-mount, too.
I got one of these recently and yeah they are excellent. Caps are crap but they look like they are Cherry profile which is interesting. I've noticed the key feel degrades a bit with use and the rubber gets a bit less snappy :c

I want one of these for nostalgias sake. They are like the ones I used in the computer lab in elementary school. A lot of the computers in the lab used a mix-match of Windows 95 to Windows XP IBM PC's and I always kind of liked to use the older versions for some reason.

I'm using one of these at work at the moment and I absolutely love it, for a rubber dome it's very solid and has a nice thuck sound when I type. Everyone is trying to replace theirs with thin chiclet style keyboards and I'm keeping a couple of them hidden for spares ;)
Hell yeah. I've kept one of these around as well. I like the heft of the board and the typing is quite pleasant.

I have just dug one of those out of the loft. I put it up there at a time when using an old PS/2 keyboard with USB stuff wasn't so easy but now converters are cheap I thought I'd give it another go.
So far it is going pretty well. The only things that is taking a little bit of getting used to if the fact it is a US layout keyboard and I am in the UK so more used to the UK layout. There is only a very small number of keys that have different symbols but the one that trips me up if the return key being horizontal on the US layout and vertical on the UK layout. I have used US layout keyboards in the past, though, so I am giving myself a fair chance to get used to the layout.
