You bet it is.  I used IBM and Keytronic 101 keyboards for quite a while.
Recently I got a couple Fujitsu 101 key units, and find they suit my personal
preference well.  They have just enough feel not to be "cheesy" like the
new cheap Keytronics and Tawainese keyboards seem to be.  The control key is
in the usual 101 key lower left hand corner position on these.

If you really prefer the "click" feel of original IBM keyboards, Honeywell
made (imported?) a couple of models that were perfect.  Haven't seen them
around for a while, they may not still be available.  These were more expensive
than the $40-60 import keyboards.  Keytronics premium line still seems to
have a pretty heathy "click", too. (as opposed to their "econo" models)
These aren't cheap, either.

Now, what I need is a error-correcting keyboard....to keep those spelling
errors to a minimum ;-)
