That is weird. Every keyboard I have seen over the last 10+ years (laptops included) have had it.None of my keyboards have a Windows key...

I had hundreds of those. They left in around 1998 when I slowly disposed of them. The pressure that is takes to push the keys was annoying and the sound was even worse. Are you running PS2 to USB or do you just have old computers?I have a couple of old IBM clicky keyboards. Best keyboard ever made, from the era before Windows keys!

Actually for those of us that transitioned from a manual to a IBM selectric typewriter loved those old IBM clicky click keyboards on the first of the IBM pc's, they allowed us to make the transition much easier than the soft touch keyboards they made
I have new computers, but I use adapters to make the old PS2 keyboards work. You may not like them, but I think they are miles better than most keyboards that come with computers today. I use a Dell keyboard on one of my home computers, and it is a mushy, nasty keyboard. This IBM keyboard from 1984 allows me to type much faster and with less strain on my hands. And I love the tactile feedback from the clicky keys.
I never had a typewriter. We always had a computer. The first one I used was an Atari with the built in keyboard. Then it was the apple II. The first computer that was truly mine was a Commodore 64.
The only thing about some of the new keyboards is that on the cheap ones the keys kind rock if you don't hit them right in the middle. I work on computers in business environments so have learned to type on even the worst junk out there. It is funny that the user thinks it is normal.
