I like the A1048 that immediately followed this one even better[1]. Sharper keycaps and (imo) a crisper feel, though that could be subjective. Definitely also a crumb tray!
Most keycaps could be interchanged between these keyboards and the truncated one from the original iMac (M2452)[2] which I did on a couple of keyboards, mostly because I liked the way it looked. I only stopped using my 2452 last year when I decided I really, really needed a keyboard with a forward delete key.
Used this until recently too but the keys where actually really not smooth to press. The big ISO enter key is especially bad, because it needs to be pressed in the right spot to move. I can confirm the trapped crumbs which are almost impossible to remove because the keyboard is really not easy to open up. I remember it having more than 30 screws scattered on the metal plate.
Yeah, the M7803 is great. Still have the one from my G4. A couple of years ago, I found a guy on FB market place that was clearing out an office with a bunch of those. Bought two, a black/clear and white. With those as backups, I took my original one apart to give it a good cleaning.
