Love my Steelseries 6GV2, much cheaper than the Filico with the same build quality and the keys I wanted (Cherry MX Black).
Does anyone know of a keyboard with keys that are made of something else than plastic?
I'd suggest looking at Datamancer:

Keyboards made of win . . . and prices made of heart attacks.

Those are awesome!
Now where did I put my defibrulator?
It was a serious question. Recent scientific studies have revealed that nearly all plastics leech endocrine disrupting chemicals into our body, inducing effects like cancer, obesity, behaviour problems, and infertility...
I have a bamboo keyboard and mouse, but with plastic keys & scroll button, so I've actually been using my Apple keyboard & Thanko Silent mouse, since they are more comfortable.
But the seriousness of the petrochemical problem has been bugging me for a week now since watching a documentary on this issue. I don't see myself quite renouncing the use of a computer just yet. I'd just given up my mobile phone use, for electromagnetic smog reasons, but it appears the sources of pollution to the living cell are must vaster than what I imaged...
These are serious scientific studies I'm talking about, not mumblings of conspiracy theorists!
The documentary La Grande Invasion by Stéphane Horel isn't available outside France yet. However, her eponymous 2008 book might be.
You'd be quite surprised by how many products contain those chemicals around you. From your remote control to the upholstering of your car or the majority of cosmetics. They aren't off the shelves by even a percent.
That something has been in use for a long time doesn't hold proof that something is safe. That there's no evidence yet, doesn't mean there won't be any soon. Those scientists are only in the beginning of their research, and have made tremendous progress in the last few years.
