Wow, I love the key caps on this one!

Unfortunately I don't have the expertise to modernize this keyboard.

It's the function keys (with the distinctive color, lower case f and subscript numerals) and the full sized font that do it for me. Much more so than the spherical keys, which I'm not a huge fan of, though they do look nice. Also, I like that there are 4 different colors on this board (+black=5 +grey number pad=6), yet somehow it's still understated.
