It is a buckling spring keyboard. It's also one of the most legendary keyboard types ever made.

If you Google "Model M" or "buckling spring keyboard" you'll find lots of info.

Another good old looking board is a dell at101w or northgate omnikey. classic looks and great switches.

Of those posted, get the Model M. If you want something cheaper, like Mike said, get an AT101.

Oh, I mistook the list for a signature at first...

The Model M is the only one in the list that is mechanical.

The only one in that list worthwhile is Number 4, which is an IBM Model M. However with Model M's there is always a chance it could be one of the "quiet touch" variants which are a rubber dome.

I don't think that the rubber dome ones (part number 7*) have removable caps.

"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."

I would recommend a cherry 11800 / 11900 (most 11800's branded as compaq). They run about $50 or less and offer black or brown mx switches, cherry profile keycaps and a track ball or track pad.
