Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Above-average keyboard but not the best key action.   May 13, 2008
Arthur (Mountain View, CA)
Keyboard's not bad. Looks good since it harks back to the days when there weren't all the silly multimedia keys (like volume, internet, etc). The logo also happens to be IBM which was surprising since IBM no longer sells PC's -- so the keyboard looks like the one in the picture.

I deducted one star because the keys are mushier than I'd like. Compared to the standard dell keyboards, this ibm keyboard's keys don't have as much of a snap to them. Additionally the keys are very quiet (as compared to the dell's), which may contribute the the perception of mushiness.



5 out of 5 stars Good but the 'Rohs Compliant, IBM Standard Layout, PS2 Keyboard' is a *TRUE* IBM keyboard of yore!   November 3, 2007

As the previous reviewer said, this is an IBM classic keyboard. Kinda. Stupid "wrist-rest" is a separate piece and you can immediately dump it in trash as I did. Both ENTER keys are midnight blue not black (hard to tell from the pic). Does *NOT* work with a USB to PS/2 connector (connection must be USB). Not as heavy as a old fashioned IBM keyboard. Very quiet compared to my old DELL "Quiet Key" keyboard. My main complaint is that even with the legs/props extended in back (is 1/2 inch high in front & with extensions ~2 3/4 in back), the keyboard feels too flat to me (it's a lot like a Compaq keyboard). The "Rohs Compliant, IBM Standard Layout, PS2 Keyboard In Black" is MUCH more like the traditional large, heavy, click-y, IBM keyboard of yore (and I sooo much prefer it).



5 out of 5 stars Increasingly Hard to Find   July 11, 2007

This product is everything I want in a keyboard. It has a standard layout (well, plus the three extra "Windows keys") with none of the nonsensical mucking about seen on recent "ergonomic" keyboard designs. Excellent action, shallow but firm, with relatively little noise. Simple design with (thankfully) removable wrist-rest.

I'm tempted to order two more because it's so hard to find a proper keyboard these days.
