	Most of the Key Tronics products are very durable.  Their
trackball keyboard that we use for our public stations requires a lot of
cleaning though, but the keyboard itself is one of the best around.  
We're using the last of their TouchPad keyboards too - which are
unfortunately out of production now.  I'd expect any of their keyboards to
be excellent, but a little more pricy than most. 

	If you're using mice, you might consider their "School Mouse"
which has no removable parts and does not require a pad.  I hope to get
some of those for our children's computers.
