It's not cheap, but this is an excellent keyboard with a nearly perfect VT220 layout.

Amazon - $139 US  https://www.amazon.com/Matias-Tactile-Pro-Keyboard-Mac/dp/B003N3HFI6

It's labeled for the Mac but will work on  Windows PC.  They have a Windows PC version but the keypad is missing the "+" key like all PC keyboard.  Only the Mac version has the full size keypad.

There is a Win/Mac aluminum keyboard which has the right layout, but I don't like the flat, thin keys.  http://matias.ca/aluminum/wireless/
