It's a large, heavy, loud keyboard. The layout can take some getting used to, and the trackpad is useless on large displays. But you can turn it into a scroll pad with Scroll++ (http://carltonbale.com/how-to-scroll-if-your-mouse-has-no-scroll-wheel) or something similar.

Yours for less than 10% the cost of an IBM M15!

I have this one as well. It is an excellent keyboard for that price. Also the real complicated white alps are a joy to type on.

Regards.
