They're noisy, clacky, impossible to use in an office, in your house without headphones, perhaps even annoying neighbours, need effort to make them work on USB, so why do people love them so much?

I've tested two. Didn't like them because sometimes if you don't hit the keys head on, they move a bit to the side with the spring and that's jarring on your fingers.

Where do you stand on the debate?

Also, first post, so what better a topic!

case of a model M

I'm absolutely confused as to why not other manufacturer has adopted a little lip at the top of the keyboard above either the number or F keys to rest a pen. It was made in the days when scientists had their pen in one hand, log book on the desk and keyboard in the other hand. A place to rest the pen was necessary. It's 'still important today!
