I actually love the feel of these.  They have a completely different sounds to the normal IBM M, but still that same wonderful buckling spring feel.  I have a dark one that I put large print keycaps for my dad as his daily driver.  :thumb:

Absolutely right. Some people complain that they don't have the same build quality as IBM- or Lexmark-made M's, and I suppose they're right. But their lighter build also gives them a different—and equally fun, IMHO too—feel and sound.

True KB collectors strive to have at least one of everything. This is an excellent example of why.
