If you're used to IBM pc keyboards you'll like that, but if you touch type, expecting control to be to the left of A, you'll be very frustrated. Having some of the other keys is useful, but this control key placement is such a problem that, if I can't figure out how to change the placement (including destructive changes to the keyboard), I'll be stepping down to the other keyboard. The exact same keyboard can be found pictured in numerous ads in PC Magazine. (look for ads for Keytronics)
