I have be use this particular model of keyboard for awhile the reason I buy a new one be that my other one finally stop work after almost daily use for over 10 year . the keyboard outlast four different computer and 3 different operating system . I do not need or use the multimedia button you see on newer version of this type of keyboard because I do not use they anyway and there be less risk of press the wrong key . also with the include usb adapter I can use this keyboard with either PS\/2 or usb port on the computer offer more flexibility . I also like the heavier button and the distinctive click sound that be make when typing . computer user with big hand would like this keyboard because of the add support it provide especially if you type a lot .
