Looking for a new USB-A PC104 keyboard.

I think I am going to give up these old PS/2+USB adapters setup since 
three different old brands (Monoprice, Staples, and a no brand) and old 
PS/2 keyboards didn't work. Even either PS/2 keyboard and mouse would 
completely stopped working with adapters. Can't have both running now. 
:(

Now, I am going to focus on getting a new USB-A keyboard. Which one 
though? Do I want wired or wireless (always typing on my desks)? I don't 
want to configure keys and use software like drivers and apps to use the 
keyboard. I'm old school and loved clicky standard PC104 keyboards with 
multiple computers (Windows, Linux, and maybe future Macs) since the 
early 90s. Yesterday, I received and set up a new IOGEAR 2-port full-HD 
KVM switch (HDMI & USB) to share a 23.6" 16:9 1920x1080 pixels ASUS 
VS247H-P monitor (LED; 2 ms, 9/2014, etc.), clicky keyboard, and a 
3-buttons optical mouse. I need to replace the old PS/2 keyboard with an 
USB. Mouse is easy since I already have a few USB-A optical mouses. Any 
recommendations on a good keyboard online that is low cost and easy to 
return in So., CA, USA? Seeing and trying out in person in retail stores 
would be nice, but they (e.g., Fry's Electronics) are gone. :(
