Unicomp Model M. It's great because it comes close to the original IBM Model M, which was my favorite keyboard ever. (OK, well, except for the IBM 029 keypunch.) Buckling spring keys, loud, great tactile feedback.
Someone put it out in a "Free Stuff" box and I grabbed it. It's in pristine condition.
And that was a week after someone else put out some ancient computer science and programming books. Including a copy of Knuth vol. 1 in much better shape than my well-worn copy.
