Solid - heavy enough to use in a Zombie Invasion (just don't forget my morning cuppa). Similar to an IBM Selectric, means I can actually type faster then one of those cheap so called Silent keyboards. Bog standard 104 key setup. Comes with both a USB...

Blue LED's. They annoy me As others have said, poor mini-usb cable connection. Can be solved by replacing with a better cable.
