Yup - the Model M (now made by Unicomp) is still a king of keyboards...

I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad primarily to get the good keyboard (and great display).

I recently got a configurable keyboard: Glorious GMMK 1 Full Size + Glorious Keycaps + original Cherry MX blue transparent switches. Got to love that tactile feel to the keys... and those waves of rainbow lighting gently sweeping across it (and the matching mouse, a Glorious Model O) 
Afterwards I realised the keyboard has a Scroll Lock key and a little light for it, but it somehow does not seem to support it, i.e. the Scroll Lock light never comes on (this was mentioned in a review too, which I then found). This doesn't bother me really, because I came to realise I have never used it. Has anyone else here?

Older KVM switch, still in use, requires Scroll-Lock, Scroll-Lock, Spacebar to bring up menu (5 systems on the KVM). Also has push buttons on the rack mounted unit. Other than that, I don't recall using it.

I have a Logitech K350 and the Scroll Lock is an Fn-key option on the Pause/Break key.
The only thing I know Scroll Lock does is that, when used in Excel, it changes the action of the cursor keys to pan the sheet around instead of moving between cells. I've never found a use for doing this!

My MSI Vigor GK20 works pretty well - and at Β£25, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I decided I didn't like it.

I have had a Das Keyboard 4 Professional MX Blue "clicky" keyboard for the last three years. I would recommend it to anybody.
It replaced my IBM PS/2 keyboard from 1987 "The Best Keyboard in the World"; it cost me 1 Gulden but even it gave up the ghost after 32 years.
Long live quality.

My personal opinion for coding or any heavy review/typing is a split keyboard. I use the KinesisGaming and it has been an amazing improvement. The next level up of split keyboards are at a price point beyond what I am willing to spend at the moment. Although, editing outside of an editor that allows the use of JKHL and other shortcuts probably should push me to go next level. Reaching for those arrow keys is like slamming on the breaks at 90 miles per hour.
Shortly after I improved my development speed significantly by not using the mouse for anything other than casual use of the computer or an editor, the realities of the strain on the body of holding your hands together on a keyboard for extended periods of time started to kick in. This basically restores the physical strain to that of someone who keeps their left hand on the keyboard and their right hand on the mouse 90% of the time.

That keyboard is hardcore.
I got carpel tunnel in 2003 from a bad desk and keyboard setup, and it took years to shake it off and heal. Took up wood working and made some new custom ergonomic desks and got some keyboard trays that can push in and out and go up and down. Now I rest my hands on the tray and just let my fingers move.
I tried ergonomic keyboards and it improved my typing skills, but one day I used a straight keyboard and I was able to jam faster and it was more comfortable, so I stayed with straight keyboards.
I tend to use both the mouse and keyboard, finding myself CTR-C, CTR-V, CTR-S SHT-TAB often.
If it ain't broke don't fix it

Probably be a really bad marketing manager for a technical device if (your pronoun of choice) claimed anything else.

I just managed to eat a bowl of granola, and I think it's going to stay down - which would be nice.
Hopefully I'll be back to normal tomorrow or the next day.

Nice clue! And I did manage to solve it - though late.  And learn something new. It was one of those where I happened upon the solution and knew it was the answer immediately upon seeing the word.
Ah well, I wouldn't have been able to set tomorrow's anyway - turkey day tomorrow in the US.

Thank you I thought it was possibly a badly written clue

Not at all. It took me a little under 10 minutes. Bouquet came to mind immediately but it didn't fit the clue. A quick Google for synonyms and I saw the solution. I was surprised someone else didn't solve it. But, it is a pretty big travel day here in the US and with Thanksgiving tomorrow us 'mercans may have given today's a pass.

As my finger hovers over the Enter key I think this could be a bad idea. Hmmmmm.
Worst command ever? Worse than laying on the up-arrow key for a bit and blindly pressing Enter?
I might never do that again!
Dang! My '58 Renault Dauphine has another flat tire.

Any idea could be a bad idea, but we still have to try them anyway.
