Summary: The best keyboard I own
Review: I have had this keyboard for a while now. I have many other keyboards including a microsoft internet something keyboard and a logitech pro internet something keyboard.

This is not the most feature rich keyboard - there is not built in usb hub, no fancy contols for this and that (which you never use anyhow). in short none of the frills.

what it does have : a couple of programmable keys and the best feel of any keyboard i have used till date. the keys are just perfect. not too hard, not too soft, not too quiet and not too loud. it really makes a big difference to typing speed too.

if all you want is a well built keyboard - this is the one for you. if you want a keyboard that you can have answer your phone and clean the house at the press of a key (okay okay they're not quite that bad but some are loaded with so much junk nowadays), look elsewhere.

Summary: Quite passable
Review: This is a typical IBM consumer-grade keyboard. IBM's consumer grade keyboards, including this one, are characterized by a moderate keypress force and a slightly higher than usual clickiness. The trigger pressure peak is satisfyingly abrupt (keys move hardly at all until depress force is reached), though as is typical with such keyboards the depress force does not diminish again past the trigger point.

Though not mentioned in the product description, this keyboard supports both USB and PS/2 interfaces.

The media-control keys work fine on Linux. The keycodes produced by the media and standby keys are the conventional ones.
