When I was in High School our typing class used Selectrics. once I got a PS/2 I loved the keyboard because the action and clicking sound was just like the selectrics. I never typed faster then on my PS/2 keyboard my Logitech is just too soft and no clicking sound.
I still use my IBM Selectric 3. Great well made machine. I hope they don't stop making ribbons for it.

It appears the commercial features Selectrics and their eventual replacement, Wheelwriters (introduced in 1984). Thanks for posting.

There was a guy at my office that only recently stopped using one of these.
