I love the tactile feels of the old IBM keyboard that I've been using, but I was getting tired of it and was looking for something newer and nicer. This one was on sale, so I bought it. I thought it was going to have a loud click to the keys because it was a mechanical keyboard, but it doesn't. The keys do make a sound when I'm typing but they are a lot faster and sensitive than the IBM, which means I can type a lot faster than before. Since I'm not a gamer I programmed the left keys for keyboard keys instead of macros: esc-key top left, windows-key lower left. There's a key that has the icon for what looks to me is the state of Texas that disables the window-key, which is meant for gamers who might accidentally hit the key, pulling them out of their game. I like the volume adjuster, which you roll to the level you want; no ctrl key + another to change it. There is a wrist flap but I didn't attach because I use it on the slate that slides under my desk. Lastly, I like the illuminated keys which are great when I'm working in my office at night and only use my desk lamp. There is a USB port on the back side of the keyboard meant for a gaming mouse (apparently, theirs are always hard wired), but I use it for flash drives or to charge my headsets. I like it so much when I have to write text, I want to put it in my suitcase when I'm traveling but that's just not practical.
