There are several editions. They are not all alike in weight. I've several, though I now use them less (besides the missing of the windows key, their bad behaviour with more recent KVMs was a main reason).

The main reason to use them is their nice "feel" (you instictively know if you hit a key right or not) and their indestructability (dirty? Wash in a tub with soap, rinse and leave to dry for few days). We hunted them for years for our university computer club, in the end we had several dozen.

Be careful with the brutal washing btw, some of the later models had different mechanics, and those will suffer from this procedure.

I also had a mainframe variant with 32 function keys (and a very strange connector) at a certain time.
