Annotated keyboard collection photo by the REAL xsphat.
I love keyboards. I can't get enough of them, so I ended up starting a collection of them. All but two of these are mechanical "clicky" boards, so it's a good thing my chick is a heavy sleeper, and some of them are over 20 years old.

I have models with key switches made by Cherry, Alps, and the fabled buckling springs in the IBM.

Something I just figured out about my collection - none of these are USB. The Apples are ADB (Apple's version of PS/2), the rest are PS/2.

I need converters to use any of them except the onboard in the MacBook. 
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

The Cherry hacker style ML4100 is my current favorite. And yes, it is a mechanical key clicky 'board.
