Not sure about the QuietKey, many of the QuietKeys used regular rubber domes.

The Compaq are NMB Dome With Sliders, which are the same ones the good QuietKeys used. They are pretty good.

The third one is Fujitsu which are mushy but smooth and fairly tactile. I don't think you can run it without making your own converter.

Take the QuietKey. NMB dome with slider is pretty decent. They all look pretty skanky though.

I've tried tons of dome with slider keyboards, the best ones I've found to be BTC dome with slider and Scorpius dome with slider. I made a large review here:

I've had a Dell QuietKey in the closet for a little over a year, it was given to me by someone who found it at work and said it 'felt mechanical.'

I cleaned it up last week, and outside of the yellowing of the ABS plastic keys I have to say for a rubber dome keyboard it is pretty great.

They have a great tactile feel, which, after the switch breaks through the bump, goes down to bottoming out very smoothly without feeling mushy.

Some of the Sun Type 6 have USB.
I have not tried the Type 6. The Type 5 is very mushy but the Type 7 is quite nice to type on even though all are made by Fujitsu and appear very much alike.

I've tried Type 5-7 and I can't tell the typing feel apart. The 5 and 7 look way better than the 6 though.
