I have loved mechanical keyboards from the very start ... but ...

After getting an IBM (back then Lenovo was the manufacturer but they were sold under the IBM brand name) ThinkCentre in 2003 I discovered that I really liked the stock keyboard. In 2007 I upgraded to an enhanced performance USB keyboard (Lenovo model 73P2620, but mine is branded IBM) and I like it every bit as much. I recently retired the IBM (it had lived a lo-ooo-ong, useful life, but it was time) and bought a Dell as my Windows machine, but I kept the Lenovo/IBM keyboard. I'm that happy with it.

They aren't mechanical keys, but they have a solid feel, they're responsive, and they provide a degree of tactile and audible feedback.

For what it's worth.
