I still mourn the passing of my beloved DataDesk Mac101, NOTHING from apple compares to the Alps Mechanical Switches or VT-101 styling and KeyCaps the original as far as I'm concerned. I never cared as much for the 101e that came after.
I keep an AEKII handy, but I much prefer the sharp edged sculpting of the AppleDesign's KeyCaps, I think the sculpting of the KeyCaps has a lot more to do with the feel of a KBD than most folks seem to. Snappy mechanical clicking is a bonus, but a really well engineered rubber dome's tactile feedback is good enough. I hated the AppleDesign at first because it's a bit mushier than I like, but it came bundled with the Quadra 630 that I installed in the rug rat's desk so I got used to it . . .
. . . I could use it all I wanted at night without waking the little bugger up . . . ;D
