ELSRA Full Size Classic USB Wired Retro Membrane Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, Large L-Shaped Enter Key, Gray/Light Gray

Worked with the IBM 'KLITY KLOCK' keyboarb in the 70's writing code, so this is a nostalgic reminder to me.

Hard for me to see the keys

Apparently, I needed to look to old technology to get the right "feel" that I've been looking for. Have tried just about every type of switch and mostly I've been struggling to be excited about using the keyboard.Believe it or not, after receiving this keyboard, I would get excited about the idea of typing on it. For someone who professionally develops software, this is a dream come true.Did I mention it isn't $300+ like the only other true retro keyboards? Would definitely buy this one again and again.

Love the build quality, typing feel, typing speed I can achieve with it (although I tend to type in bursts vs. creating lengthy tomes, so this membrane-style keyboard works just fine vs. a mechanical if you were going to type continuously for long periods) , and typing sound (not loud, but quite present in a positive way).It's weighty enough to not shift around much if it's placed on a slick surface like glass, it looks good (for what they're now calling a retro keyboard style), and with the quality of the design, components, and etched keycaps - I can see this lasting for many years.If they had this same keyboard in a black/gray combo I would give it a sixth star.

This review is after a day of use, so doesn't include durability.This is an absolutely great keyboard if you miss the days of a classic keyboard. My wife (who spent a lot of time in her career on a selectric typewriter) said "why didn't we get this much earlier? - it is the best computer keyboard I have ever used".

The keys are too close together, otherwise fine.

This rubber dome keyboard is fairly decent overall, but I noticed a misspelling on the "menu" button, which reads as "meun." Considering the relatively high price of this rubber dome membrane keyboard, there shouldn't be any excuse for such a typo to be overlooked. Unfortunately, I decided to return it due to this issue.

If you're like me and are nostalgic about the L-shaped enter key, you will love this keyboard. I have a stack of older keyboards including the IBM model M and this is now my favorite.This keyboard is a lot more silent than the M with the buckling springs and keys are very comfortable to press, not to mention it's a lot easier on your ears and your office neighbors too.I like that the keys are not rattling, the keyboard is very well built, has a modern USB connection, your typical windows keys are here and no nonsense shortcut/multimedia keys.A true classic keyboard, well done ELSRA!
