Picked up a Red Dragon at a thrift store for $10USD. It's my daily driver because it doesn't have a keypad.
I'm not a fan of the throw on the keys though--too much travel for me. But it's a step up from my Dell hand-me-down.
I like the travel, but then I'm old and used to use a typewriter, the little "chicklet" keyboard built into the cover of my tablet drive me absolutely nuts.
I take the Red Dragon with me because it doesn't have a number pad, easier to stuff a tenkeyless in a bag and drag it around, though I actually use the number pad so I prefer to have the full version at home connected to the dock.
I used to like that style more, but I do a lot of typing on a bluetooth chiclet because my true daily driver is a tablet and now that's what my fingers are expecting.
