Ibm Mechanical Pencil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great keyboard. I used to like IBM Thinkpad mechanical keyboard. And this exactly replicates the behavior when I press the keys. I recommend this to anyone for daily use.

Great lead supply for my mechanical pencil. These are very thick and so far, not a single has broken even when I extend a bit. Very happy with these lead refills.

A nice big keyboard in the old school IBM style just the way I like them!

Nice pencil.

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

The keyboard is actually pretty heavy, underscoring its sturdy construction.  The keyboard is exactly what I was looking for - the same feel as that IBM keyboard I had 15 years ago, just keys and no mushy feel.  My typing is faster and more reliable.  I have only had the keyboard a month, but the construction seems to be very solid, and key spacing is perfect for quick touch typing.  Highly recommended!

I have been in the IT field since 1967. I dealt with IBM main frames and card punch machines. My first personal connection was a 50 baud acoustic modem paired to my home phone. As things got progressively more sophisticated it oft times got far more difficult. When I purchased the ZenWiFi AX (XT8) to improve my network I dreaded hooking everything up. It turned out to be possibly the easiest network set-up in all my years in the field. I am even more impressed with the overall speed of the network throughout the entire house. My 4K TV nows gets the needed speed to give me 4K viewing. My wife especially loves the small box with no antennas that sits unobtrusively on the kitchen sink behind a cookie jar. I cannot see how it can be improved.

Classic, professional, and comfortable "IBM-style" keyboard. I love everything about this keyboard; good key response and sound. I am a big fan of Lenovo products.

If you spend a lot of your life writing, like I do, you may find that you long for the great IBM selectric keyboards that gave you a mechanical feedback. Today's keyboards are uniformly mushy, with a few exceptions, such as Lenovo's famous keyboards. So after reading the reviews I sprung for the Das Keyboard 43 professional. It has a great response and feel. Nice click but not too loud. Would not recommend if you work in a quiet spot and don't want to wake up roommates!

And reformatting it for my Mac was cake. I remember in the Stone Age of computing my boss got me an IBM PC-AT with a 40MB hard drive (the base unit had only 20MB -- yes, MEGAbytes), telling me, That's all the disk space you'll ever need. I must be very old.
