I have a Thinkpad style USB keyboard meant for server racks. Has a trackpad and that little joystick. It's only flaw is it that it's too old for that windows key.

There are newer versions which have that key: Lenovo Group Limited Lenovo ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (I bought half-a-dozen the last time they were made so that I would be sure of having one in the future).
Are they as well built as the IBM ones? I saw a Thinkpad 14 recently, quite light and it felt flimsy. Different type of plastic.
I think modern Thinkpads are still pretty solid laptops. I'm not going to make an argument that they're as solidly built as IBM Thinkpads of 20 years ago though they're probably more reliable overall.
