And despite trying a few modern soft touch keyboards, still prefer
this clunky old mid '90s basic one which came with an Acorn, and is
now shared with a PC via a KVM switch. Of course if you actually use
all those special function keys on a Windows one, fine. But I can
manage without.

Other thing is the common Logitech ones tend to wear out their
lettering quickly. This one is still as good as new.

There was allot to be said for the original real IBM keyboards with
steeply raked keys, proper clacky switches etc, and enough weight to
break your foot if you dropped one!

Also easy to take apart and clean if you spill coffee or worse on it. I
have a spare to get the keys back in the correct positions...
