I had an IBM Model M keyboard in my basement when I was a kid, but I thought it was junk because the connector was an RJ45, so I didn't even bother to press any keys on it.

You don't know what you have until it's gone :(

You'll be lucky eventually. You usually find the thing you're focused on at some point because your eye is trained for it. I've found several in thrift stores for a few euro's each, but never for free between other electronic devices that were thrown away, and never really one with such nice switches.

Very lucky. Check the second pic, they're blue alps. :)

Yeah. I've heard only good things about them I think. I haven't had the pleasure to really try them yet, but by just tapping away a little at the keyboard, I must say they feel really nice.
