Wow, very nice find indeed! Micro Computer Days? It is gorgeous.
+1 for mechanical switches, I loathe needing to use a dome keyboard for any length of time.
Last year I needed to buy a clicky keyboard but I don't typically find them locally, and they are starting to get pricey in auction-land. I decided on buying a new one from Unicomp and I love it. It is kind of drab and ugly but the switches are decent and it is native USB. Unicomp are the same facility that made the IBM Model M back in the day, they have a Yahoo storefront and make nice stuff. Sorry to sound like an advert, just personally I love this board.
My next fave is a Mac keyboard, Datadesk 101e. It has got both ADB and the older modular connector also. First (and for a long time the only) good keyboard I had.
Sometime when I am feeling ambitious I intend to retrofit my Atari Falcon and Mega keyboards with nice switches also, but I don't know when I will get around to it.
I like how there was more variety before keyboards became more standardized for Windoze, there are some interesting layouts out there. I dream of finding an MIT "space cadet" keyboard someday.
