The keyboard is nice to type on, but unfortunately it's a VMS layout; there is also a UNIX layout but I don't have that. The result is that I have a really long keyboard (it has a numberpad/EDIT keypad off-screen to the right) instead of a short keypad-less UNIX board, and the Control key is on the wrong side of the caps lock key. Still, a fun piece of equipment.
