One rant I have is how people have been so easily subdued into using glass keyboards.
I don't remember Caps Lock being on the bottom row instead of between Tab and Shift. I've used CAPS as the Compose Key for nearly 10 years on Linux now.

Personally I never liked any of the IBM keyboards, but I've used plenty worse. I use a 10KL Cherry Stream UK keyboard now. I bought a 2nd; they are so nice. Only be better if the |\ key was beside the ?/ instead of Z so that the shift keys were more similar size. If I really want Caps Lock I tap BOTH shift keys, either shift cancels.

Also those older keyboard have no AltGr to type €½đáéíóúß«»ç“”nµþŧł etc, so you have to use Ctrl and Alt.
