I have found a very good keyboard for my Mac systems ... not comparable to the Symbolics keyboards, but not bad. Check https://www.pckeyboard.com/ for info.

This new one is similar to my other favorite: the original IBM PC AT that had a stellar keyboard - I still have that keyboard for nostalgia, although it is unusable on any system I currently have.

BTW, some sites sell Symbolics keyboards, but the price is prohibitive ... over $1000 for refurbished ones the last time I looked 🙁.

Point taken. However, I believe I was far more productive developing on a Symbolics LM 3600, from 1983 to 1986, than anything I have used since.
