I've never had a better keyboard than the NCD "Unix style" keyboard.
It is similar to what the MIPS Magnum 3000's came with.

I plugged one into my Indy the day it arrived, the SGI (PC style) keyboard
is sitting on a shelf. You should be able to buy them from NCD
(cost is about $200 here), ask for the model N-97. You can plug them
into a PC via an adaptor - that's what I'm gonna do on my new Plan 9 PC.

Of course, with acme maybe a good mouse is more important :-)
