A Dell AT101W, which isn't as noisy but still types nicely. It also has a Windows key.

If you like the Model M layout, IBM made Rubber Dome versions of it too.

I use a Soarer's Converter with mine to enable Windows shortcuts by holding ALT instead of the missing Windows keys.

Edit: They're called "Quiet Touch" model Ms.

I like the older Keytronic Win type E03601Q models with the big enter key (e03601ql-c AT or e03601qus201-c PS/2). The E03600QL-C is also decent with smaller Enter key.
They are good AT/PS2 compatible and are decent full keyboards, usually get a good working one for +/- $25 if you look around...

Good rubber domes that feel almost like mechanicals (but not as loud) are IBM KB-7953 and KB-8923. They are also rather period-correct. Not sure what their key rollover is, but can't be worse than that of the Model M (which is only 2KRO).

Model M has particularly bad 2KRO blocking, so if you try to hit many combinations of three keys at the same time, the last doesn't register. Love those boards, but they are not a good choice for gaming.

Ideally you want an NKRO board, but they are rare if you want period-correct. Options:

1) Capacitive switches
- IBM Model F boards. Expensive. Rare. Non-standard (i.e. pre Enhanced Keyboard) layouts. VERY noisy.
- Foam & foil boards. Most vintage BTC boards use this. Two problems: 1) at best rather squishy and unresponsive. 2) after 25 years, they are far from best and require new foam and foil pads, adding to cost and effort.
2) Regular switches with diodes
- Cherry or Alps based boards with additional diodes to prevent ghosting. Great solution, lots of choice in switches (and so noise/tactile feedback), only problem is definitively figuring out if a given board has the diodes or not. Even within a specific model range (eg. Cherry G80-1000) their presence/absence is almost random.

For me the Chicony KB-5916 AT definitely (I use it every day since 1995 😀) - not mechanical but as is reliable., or any KeyTronic ergoForce model.

I use a Model M for one computer, but for most other needs I've a pair of Microsoft web keyboards. I have a Model M2, but the caps are drying up and it'll need to be disassembled and repaired, which means risking destruction.

IBM KB-9910 apparently? , it's a membrane so it's not much to write home about but it works I guess.

Yes Chicony made some very good keyboards. Personally not a fan of most older IBM. They just do not feel right but that is a personal thing ;p

I use a beige cherry board with mx silent reds. It support ps2 with a passive adapter. Close to perfect for me.

My retro daily driver is a NMB (HI-TEK) RT8255c with “space invader” mechanical switches. It’s an AT model (that I use with a ps2 adapter) from the early 90’s and also happens to be NKRO. I dare say that it feels so good to type on that it’s a legitimate contender against my modern Razer Huntsman.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I ended up ordering a Dell AT101W off Ebay, so we'll see how that one works out.

Good choice ! There is a person in my area with AT101W for sale but wants to much to ship and has not replied on a local pickup or have would grabbed it.
Have a few vintage Leading Tech/Vtech with the black switches, they work very well.
