I just googled ibm m keyboard and found pictures of them. They basically
look the same as modern Windows keyboards, except that they don't have a
Windows key.

A Windows key isn't absolutely necessary, but it's a convenience, and I
wouldn't want a keyboard without one. So lower the price of the IBM to
$11, and I still wouldn't want it. I don't care if it's clickier.


My laptop KB has a Windows key but I don't remember ever using it.

The Win Key is important to me, as past of the sequences eg in
various games,



I don't play any computer games, so I never use it for that.


no doubt the bindings could be redefined but a useful
Win Key avoids that hassle. Unfortunately this particular Logitec
keyboard doesn't have a win key so I re-mapped the caps lock key to
Win.



I also never use CapsLock, but since it's a key I'm likely to hit
accidentally, I have it remapped to doing nothing.

By the way, for remapping keys, I recommend the free Sharpkeys at
https://www.randyrants.com/category/sharpkeys/ It's easier and less
dangerous than editing the registry.
