Whenever I have a question like this I often rely on the reviews at Wirecutter:

Personally I carry something a bit like this one around in my day-bag and use it with my phone when I don’t have my laptop handy:
Not the same brand or model but a no-name keyboard which is almost identical except it doesn’t have backlighting…

Amongst my Macs and iPads I use three keyboards - Apple’s wired extended keyboard with numeric keypad, Apple’s standard wireless keyboard, and a Das Keyboard mechanical keyboard. Pretty happy with all of them, thought the Das is annoyingly loud to people in my home, even when in other rooms.

Unicomp classic has been the most satisfying so far:

My key-bashing wife chuckles whenever I use it.

I have a really ancient Cherry keyboard. It dates from the days of my 386 computer, it is well more than 15 or maybe 20 years old and it just keeps on going, I have never felt the need to replace it. It is very comfortable to type on.
It connects to a USB port via a PS/2 adapter.
