The greatest thing I've found is the Northgate Omnikey Ultra keyboard.  It
can be programmed to do ANYTHING.  I have it set up with sticky Alt, Ctl,
and Shift keys, macros on the extra set of function keys, and "windows"
keys set for ctl-esc and alt-esc.
Tip:  you've got to boot to DOS to program it, or borrow someone's DOS or
Windows machine.  Once programmed, put it on your OS/2 machine; it's
beautiful.
For drag 'n dropping, get Gibbon's GCP DoubleClick; you can set the middle
button as a lock.  Available on hobbes as   GCPCLK10.ZIP.

OmniKey Keyboards
Since 1987, the OmniKey line of keyboards has been the overwhelming choice
for thousands of PC enthusiasts, professional typists, programmers and power
users.  Both the PC press and users worldwide rave about their OmniKeys which
have earned numerous awards from both computer industry press and consumer
publications.  
Why?  because all four OmniKeys - the 101, 102, Ultra-T and Evolution - are
engineered for maximum efficiency with features that let you input data with
greater speed and accuracy.  They are also known for their customizable 
ayout
that has become Northgate's signature.
Lifetime Quality
OmniKey is synonymous with outstanding quality because these keyboards are
rugged.  They seem to last forever.  Solid-steel bases, double-injected 
keycaps
with legends that don't wear off, superior quality plastic and mechanical
switches rated for millions of depressions make OmniKey the choice for
longevity.
Maximum Efficiency
Our engineers designed OmniKey with you in mind.  Precision Alps
click/tactile key switches give you that springy, responsive feel for faster,
more accurate data entry.  And features like Windows 95 keys to enter Windows
applications in a flash and and Application key to instantly start a 
frequently
used program add up to significant time savings.  We even let you decide 
here
you want the function keys.  They are located across the top on the 101 
odel,
to the left on the 102 and in both positions on the Ultra-T.
