These are not bad boards, but since some, but not all, age poorly, they have gotten a bad reputation here.

I got one new with at Dell system in the late-1990s and used it for years. It still feels good.

I have bought several, second-hand, for less than $5 each and some have been good, some bad.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Yeah, I know what you mean. I got an old one and the space bar was FUBAR. The rest of the keys were OK. I thought the key switch travel was too short. Compared to Cherry MX Brown, they aren't as satisfying. I guess it depends on your taste, but I was not impressed with this. I use it mostly as a backup keyboard at work now. My daily driver is the Brown, and sometimes I'll use Buckling Spring when I feel manly.
