You may want to glance at the Deskthority wiki: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:List_of_all_keyboards

Most of them. That’s also not a very complete list. But if you look up some specific type of switch on the Deskthority wiki, you can usually get a good idea of several possible boards to look for for that switch.

I had a weird/goofy/cool/cheap Chinese buckling spring keyboard a couple of years ago but I sold it on ebay. You can't read the numbers but it was not really very good. I would not recommend chasing one down unless you just want to add it to the collection on the shelf.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
