I've heard really good things about Topre keyboards but can't afford one myself since I am a student. Google around to learn more but good models are:

-Topre Realforce 87U (around $260)

-Happy Hacking keyboards (around $300)

I told you they were expensive. Otherwise older IBM keyboards tend to have a good reputation (model M).

To find some great keyboards, you can have a look here : http://www.elitekeyboards.com/ (no I don't work for them).

Elitekeyboards also offers models from Leopold.

These are a lot less expensive than happy hacking and also have a reduced size form-factor (no numpad).

I got the model with cherry-mx blue switches (very clicky and tactile like the old 80's IBM keyboards). I got the "otaku" model without the key markings and it looks very cool.
