Well you don't tell us what would constitute a "good" keyboard for
you...except you want a "normal layout".

If good means a firm, "clicky" touch with the "feel" of separate mechanical
switches beneath each key...then the Focus 2001 should make you very happy,
with double-shot moulded keycaps (letters can't wear off), cover/copyholder
built in, large Backspace and Enter keys.  Better yet you souldn't pay more
than $38 for it.

If "good" means very soft touch, less travel, and a "mushy-soft" feel like
there's only some rubber or foam resistance beneath each key, then
Keyronics makes several boards you will like, depending on layout, and
their prices will run in the $79 to $99 range.
