I think most people don't realize how important the keyboard is. Even if everything else works fine, if that keyboard keeps needing to be replaced or ends up being mushy, the entire experience of using the computer is ruined. People can live with a mediocre display, trackpad or speakers, but if the keyboard is shit, people just won't want to use their machine.

Yep.  I've had very good luck with the 3 MS Comfort Curve 2000 keyboards I bought many years ago for $15 each, unboxed, at MicroCenter.  They've lasted me probably 15 years.

Should've bought 8 of them.

 One of the few things I bought in the 1990s was a clone of the Microsoft Curve keyboard. I don't recall when I got rid of it, but it was the most stellar keyboard I had ever owned. I honestly don't see why every keyboard on the market doesn't use that design.

MS went to the Curve 3000, which is also ergonomic but very different. I have one, but I haven't used it much.  Initially it really slowed me down.
I looked at the SteelSeries keyboards you mentioned, but they all appear to be for gaming, and no ergonomic models.
Edit: this one is close to the Curve 2000.
