The keyboard with the strongest psychological boost I've ever experienced is the M0116 Apple Standard Keyboard https://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Standard_Keyboard https://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Standard_Keyboard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY7XXo5uEZI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY7XXo5uEZI with its old ALPS (Orange, or sometimes Salmon) switches. Every time you press a few keys the little voice in your head tells you (accurately or not!) "Yes, I have accomplished something meaningful. Significant work is being done here." It's really quite self-defeating that Apple can't find the pocket change necessary to bring back Apple keyboards with early ALPS switches, especially now that it's relatively serious about desktop computing again. Things could be a lot worse though: seven years after introducing the M0116 Apple put out the M2980 Apple "Design" "Keyboard" https://deskthority.net/wiki/AppleDesign_Keyboard https://deskthority.net/wiki/AppleDesign_Keyboard which could leave you pining for death.
