*leap for joy*
What you describe is exactly what I need. And those keyboards looks
exactly as the one I'm using now.

I still have a second good keyboard, but with annoying click. A
Commodore without Windows key, perhaps an old Cherry like.

The kwd-205, the one I use, has a cheap clicker like keyboard, but it's
anyway good.

USB very often is sharing IRQs. Hm? If USB won't cause IRQ issues I only
need to find a flat, wired one.

I never had a typist's cramp! I never used a modern mouse or keyboard!
