It finally came in, I guess about a week ago, and I’ve been putting it through the motions since. It is, as advertised, very heavy-duty and tactile in the style of the old IBM keyboards I learned to type on. And yes, typing is pretty loud. I don’t guess anyone would be happy if I got one for my cubicle at work :)<br /><br />It’s also completely blank, which looks cool and is basically a good way for us touch typists to nerd out.<br /><br />It’s fairly expensive, about $100 with shipping, but the quality and retro nerd factor made it totally worthwhile.
