Nice. How does it compare with the IBM, aside from the super key?

Unless you are super nitpicky practically identical other than the branding. Former Lexmark and IBM people bought the actual stuff used to make them over the years and formed Unicomp after it was shut down so they are not cheap knockoffs.

I did read that the molds used in some models were starting to wear out, but they have new ones that seem to be getting good reviews.
