I decided not to get it for now. Yesterday, I got Logitech's K120 model from my local Target store (https://www.target.com/p/logitech-k120-ergonomic-desktop-usb-keyboard-black-920-002478/-/A-21502870). It took me awhile I find it since they (4) were buried low on the shelf! These are hot sellers, but why put down there? Sheesh! :P Anyways, I'll have to get used to it. Keys are like slippery which I am not used to. Maybe I should add honey or something over my keyboard, but that would be gross and attract Argentine ants, and void my return and warranty. :P At least, I can finally type faster and better than the old Dell 104-key PS/2 Dell Model SK-8110 and other keyboards with PS/2 splitter adapters. Both my old PCs (Debian/Linux and W10 Pro.) are working fine. No reboots needed too unlike PS/2. I swapped my old mouses too with KVM since I wanted to use my Amazon Basics (have to get used to it too). I currently have 30 days to return this keyboard if I hate it to get a better USB-A PC104 clicky keyboard. I feel like I have a new complete computer system right now after last week's tedious cleaning, new KVM, keyboard, and mouse. -- "Jesus answered, ''It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'''" --Matthew 4:4.
