i have this keyboard, it's decent. just make sure it's not an open item...i got one since it was on sale, and the space bar kept jamming. :|
Very solid keyboard for the money. Too bad that I don't need another keyboard. If you're using a cheapie generic keyboard, by all means, buy this. It's a very nice keyboard.

Hmm, how "solid" is "solid"? In other words, how do you think it would compare against an IBM Trackpoint II keyboard? (My current, and favorite, keyboard to date. This thing is solid enough to break through brick walls with, if you had to.)
The one thing that I wish this keyboard has, is a scroll wheel. I think some versions of those "fancy" Logitech keyboards do have those. Would save the wear-n-tear on my trackpoint widget for scrolling web pages.

bah
I didn't mean literally. I don't hammer things with my keyboard after all. I meant "solid" as in good. It's much better than the crap keyboards that you can usually buy for under $20. I bought one btw.. It's going to be replacing my generic keyboard that I use to set up systems with.

come on people IBM boards rule as far as stamina but they suck as far as software driver upkeep. If any of you have ever lifted one up they are twice as heavy as most other keyboards out there. I have one from win 98 era and it works great but extra keys no longer work because IBM will not make xp drivers for it. As far as logitech goes I like most of the mice they make but the keyboards no biggie they do not excite me at all. I stick with Microsoft whenever they go on sale I buy for the family and friends. Don't get excited now its Just My Opinion and I have been putting together systems for 20 years now. dang I am gettin old. I still have things to learn so if someone has facts out there that overcome my limited knowledge just let me know.

Thanks for the pic. Yeah, I've seen some basically identical-looking Logitech keyboard models on the clearance pile at Wal-Mart for like $20. For $10, yeah, that's a steal for a decent keyboard like that. (Yes, it has the scroll wheel.
)

i agree that IBM keyboards are the best. i love the feel of mine (don't get any perverted ideas).
This Logitech is excellent. The keys have a very precise feel, and the whole thing is very flat. The extra scroll wheel is surprisingly useful -- I use mine by combining it with my mouse scroll wheel for scrolling fast (through my newsgroup reader, Newsgrabber, if you want to know).
The cheap IBM O.Max has is generic, nothing more. It's not comparable to this Logitech.

>who said anything about OM?
unclebud mentioned an IBM keyboard at OM.
> i am talking about this one.
I picked up that Active Response one from Staples for $5 AR a while ago. (It did not come with any drivers, and didn't need any.) It is a sturdy keyboard, but nothing like the Fujitsu I got years ago, which must have iron in it. It does look industrial. I like the subdued colors and the pencil rest. For sturdiness, I don't think it has anything on the Logitech. I don't know why the Logitechs are sometimes so cheap. I got mine for $15 NR at Staples. What I don't like about it is it boots up with the F keys disabled. You have to press an F-lock key to enable them every time you reboot. And the LEDs must be 10 times brighter than any keyboard I ever had before. It'll hurt your eyes if you look staight at them. It is distracting and annoying in my peripheral vision when I am reading the computer screen. At night there is green spotlight projected on the ceiling when I go to bed. The first day I had it, I wondered what the heck was going on.

Shows as $30 now...oh well. Definitely want one of these, so i'll check back later to see if it drops again...

was it a two or four door car?
This deal was just last week. I picked one up for 10.00 at the local B&M. The week prior they had the fellow multimedia keyboard for $10.00.
I tried to buy a cheap IBM keyboard a while ago. I got one with sticky keys, so I exchanged it and the replacement had sticky keys as well, so I just returned it. QC sucks with those keyboards as far as I'm concerned. In my experience, Logitech has always made an excellent product for not a lot of money.
