Both are now in the same state. After 7 years I bought two new ones. Sadly, the quality was not the same. The keys were too harsh to press. So I’ve replaced my work keyboard with a Logitech K800. At home, I’m typing on my laptop.

I took the picture by nostalgia before coming back to Montreal and leaving the two well-used keyboards behind.
