Sorry folks, but the undisputed best keyboard every made was the 
Northgate OmniKey line. Here's the one that I have;

It weighs _more_ than IBM M's; it is so heavy and solid that you could 
certainly kill someone with it, and it'd still work perfectly.

It is (was) programmable, and keys are meant to be moved around (they 
used to come with extra keycaps and a puller). It could support PC, 
Amiga and Apple keyboard standards of the time.

I'll be sad when it croaks. You can find them from time to time...
