Hi, where can I find keyboards with heavy keys that do not go off with
the slightest touch? I make too many mistakes by just brushing over
the keys by mistake. Is there a special keyword for searching for
these heavier keys? I'm used to the old typewriter keys.
"long-travel" ?

A company would use terms like that, when they like to make
chiclet or membrane solutions as well.
The force versus displacement diagram makes a difference too.

And another item I look for, is how the letters are applied to the keys.
"Double shot keycaps"

"this keycap type is produced when two layers of plastic
are molded into each other. No printing necessary.
The end result is a key legend which will never fade or chip off
"
My current keyboard is only a few years old, is not double shot,
and "A", "S", "E" are already showing wear. In addition, the control
key tends to "bind" when pressed. It's not nearly as robust
a keyboard as the previous one (which is no longer made).
And there's such a thing as buying "too stodgy" a keyboard.
I have at least one keyboard here, where it's a bit tiring
to use. I wouldn't look forward to using it.
