You have left out galaxy brain giant IBM model M. (Not more keys, but thicc keys.)
It's not just the size. It's also the way the sound of typing will bother everyone else in the room.
“To use this feature, simply press the F213 key.”

Ah, okay. There it is. (tap)

That setup uses pedals ffs. no thoughts empty head
Wow what did they say about that?
Oh my God.
That’s a surfboard.
When my grampy died, my parents threw out about four Model Ms from his house. They didn’t know they’re not just old keyboards D:
I knew I was going to find a comment about the Model M!
I use the modern incarnation made by Unicomp since 2019. Best Keyboard I ever had and probably my main keyboard for the rest of my life. It’s really that good! Minimal wear on the buttons after 6 years (I’m a developer so the keyboard gets used once in a while 😉)
One thing I wanted to mention: Although I like the clicky sound, it is quite loud. It was loud enough that I woke up my little baby girl when working at night. So I had to silence it or buy another keyboard 😔 I ended up with fiddling dental floss inside of every single spring and used o rings to dampen the noise it makes when you hit the buttons hard and they bottom out. I’d say you get 80-90% of the tactility with 30% of the noise. Perfect combo in my opinion.
Ahhhhh - that IBM Model 50 keyboard. Loud AF, and could drive a truck over it. Was my first and the feel of it was great.
It's not just the size, or the sound, but the fact you could comfortably concuss an elephant with it, or stop a bullet and go right back to typing. Those things were built like tanks.
I need to get mine fixed. I sometimes tire of my steel series and wish to deafen all my online friends
