IIRC,  these have a RJ type connector (seems so long ago since I made a cord to connect one of these KBD)


The keyboard is very well manufactured/solidly built without being too heavy. Nice to type with an added bonus of a speaker + volume switch on the back. So if you want the keyboard to click louder, just increase this speaker volume.

I still have my NIB somewhere and is a keeper. All in all, I like it, but that's only my personal opinion.

NB: The switches do not click, the speaker provides this pseudo click sound.

Not necessarily. Audible feedback helps; who cares if the mechanics cause it or if it's electronic? IIRC some of the  IBM terminal M boards also had speakers included for feedback (which is why - at least the older - Model Ms have a keyboard grill at the bottom).

Yeah, I suppose, I just like it better when I can feeeel the click(which I know is really from the tactile part but still)

Big Wang, huh?  I'd say that one is average.

If that GL key does what I hope it does, it could save me some trouble at the beginning of Starcraft 2 games...
