If you can handle the layout (small backspace, reverse shaped L enter) this is a great keyboard.

I definitely couldn't handle that.

Needs to be KB-8923.

While KB-8923 is an awesome rubber dome keyboard that looks great and is heavy, I would not say it's better than the Chicony Monterey keyboard.
