The one that the IBM replaced was one of those Logitec Lifetime Keyboards. It was supposed to be water proof, but apparently 100 octane black coffee is more damaging than water. I stupidly paid $75 for that thing. Never again.
The $30 for this set is even out of line. And the down arrow key is a bit flaky, you have to hit it extra firmly. I am afraid that if I take it back and exchange it I will get one that is worse. Other than that I like it fine, although folks with large hands, I think, would not.
