The 'boards are okay.  Very quiet and don't feel as bad as most other rubber domes.  I use mine every now and again.

If you are going to get a new one, get one of the new version - it's got windows keys (shorter space bars to accommodate) and media functions on a second layer - haven't tried one myself, though.

Goldtouch keyboards have quite nice rubber domes, as rubber dome keyboards go. New Goldtouch keyboards have quite light keys, supposedly. Older keyboards on the second-hand market with PgUp, PgDown, Home and End keys on the left side have heavier keys, but are still quite nice.
