Torture device, presumably.

Michael W. Lucas’s “Networking for System Administrators” is a great resource: https://mwl.io/nonfiction/networking#n4sa

Yeah, I’m really happy with my Leopold which I’ve been using for the past 3 months. I used to have Unicomp before that; and while the typing feel was a little better than the brown switches I currently have on the Leopold, its build quality was lower, and eventually it just died on me thanks to what I later found out was a notoriously failure-prone controller they used to use back then. I’m told that Unicomp’s build quality has improved a lot since then.

… though the frustrating thing is that I was able to get the Unicomp only because I was living in the US at the time; and the Leopold I got thanks to relatives in S. Korea. Where I live, ‘mechanical keyboard’ is treated like a synonym for ‘gamer keyboard’, and all the BS associated with that.

So excellent off the shelf brands exist, though one has to do some local research first.
