For much of my working life with computers I have always made do with those cheapo OEM keyboards. You know the ones, stuffed in plain brown cardboard boxes where you can by them by the case lot for about $10.00 a piece.

It is now sitting quite nicely, as you can see, on my desk and I’m a happy camper
The thing I really like about it is its low profile and soft touch key stroke.
