I suppose the only drawback nowadays is that it has an AT style

For $10 or so, you can get a PS/2-to-USB adapter. They've got several
different kinds at Fry's. Basically, it's a little pigtail that you
can plug in a PS/2 keyboard and mouse into, and plugs into a USB port.

Actually, I've been using one of those on this keyboard for years.
Hopefully, when PS/2 goes away, I'll still be able to use the keyboard
via an adapter with USB (or whatever the new "Standard" keyboard
connector becomes).

Chuckle, I just had a vision of DJA in a couple of decades. Same keyboard,
but a stack of adapters, AT->PS2->USB->USB++->XSB->XSB++

...eating up any money I saved by buying the good keyboard to begin
with, rather than just replacing a crappy keyboard with wrong connector
with a crappy keyboard with the right connector.
