Rating: - Above-average keyboard but not the best key action.
Keyboard's not bad. Looks good since it harks back to the days when there weren't all the silly multimedia keys (like volume, internet, etc). The logo also happens to be IBM which was surprising since IBM no longer sells PC's -- so the keyboard looks like the one in the picture.

Rating: - Good but the 'Rohs Compliant, IBM Standard Layout, PS2 Keyboard' is a *TRUE* IBM keyboard of yore!
As the previous reviewer said, this is an IBM classic keyboard. Kinda. Stupid "wrist-rest" is a separate piece and you can immediately dump it in trash as I did.

Rating: - Increasingly Hard to Find
This product is everything I want in a keyboard. It has a standard layout (well, plus the three extra "Windows keys") with none of the nonsensical mucking about seen on recent "ergonomic" keyboard designs. Excellent action, shallow but firm, with relatively little noise. Simple design with (thankfully) removable wrist-rest.
I'm tempted to order two more because it's so hard to find a proper keyboard these days.
