Maybe you had better experience with the IBM keyboards than I did. The reason why I bought it in the first place was because it was black and that's back when EVERY keyboard was computer beige. I would've rather put up with the beige or spray painted one black than deal with sticky keys.

Should have picked up an IBM Trackpoint II desktop keyboard in black. That's what I currently use, and boy is it sweet. It's got those old-school "clicky" keys. They make quite a racket, but they are heaven to type on. Plus, with the trackpoint, I don't have to move my hands much to move the mouse around. (And the keyboard still has a PS/2 mouse pass-through port, so you can plug in a PS/2 optical mouse for gaming, although the pass-through is done via the keyboard's internal micro-controller, and it doesn't pass-through the scroll-wheel inputs, sadly. :( That's the only negative that I could see with this thing. Oh yeah, the base is like solid metal, so it's a little bit heavy, if you are holding it up with your hand or something.)

I will agree though, out of all of the newer-style "mushy" keyboards, that Logitech ones are some of the best out there.
