I'm looking for a Quality Keyboard

I need to get a new keyboard but I'm really disappointed by the cheap
nasty plastic rattly types on offer. And I'm not talking about the low
cost ones either!

I find most keyboards just don't have any substance. I like keys to have
a slightly weighted sprung feel - that's about the best way I can think
of to describe it.

Can anyone recommend something that's made really well with keys that
have a nice feel? I don't mind paying over the odds for something
decent.

I have an old IBM PS2 mechanical click keyboard I picked up in a used
computer store years ago for I think $5. I believe it came out back in the
286/386 days. Very heavy, very solid, very positive action. No other
keyboard has ever felt as good to me, and I will keep using it until it
dies. Given how solid this thing is, that could take a while.

Acknowledging that my question points this thread in a slightly
different direction:

I'm currently using the ALPS Glidepoint keyboard that I bought around
'95 and what I like the most about it is that the space bar is split in
half and the left half is the backspace key.

This is an incredibly useful feature and I'm wondering if anyone here
knows of other keyboards that have it as well? ALPS no longer seems to
sell this model and it is difficult to find a backspace key in this
location.

Thanks for any guidance.
