>The original IBM PC keyboards were some of the best to type on, although they were quite heavy by today's standards. Key action was superior but the audio feedback from each keystroke made for a fairly noisy environment when a lot of those keyboards were in use in a small area, for example in a room with several data entry clerks working away. And of course these days we pretty much need the Windows key and the context menu key, so the older keyboards just don't cut it in that regard.

The IBM keyboard my daughter has doesn't lack the win key etc (it even has the sound control keys), and IMO still has that nice feel that IBM always had. It's just that I can't find it anywhere anymore.
