slipstreamsurfrHow can this be?!?!
Had to post. I just bought a new Apple pro keyboard for my old B&W g3. It has such a nice feel. My old keyboard was the original one that came with the g3 when it was made. It has a lot of years and miles on it. This one is SO much more responsive to keystrokes! It felt like I was having to slam the keys/hit them just right and square in order to not miss characters when I was typing.
la la la la la la!
Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a keyboard junkie. I am a fast typist, and learned to type in high-school on an old IBM Selectric. Needless to say, I hate mushy keyboards as well as stiff, stodgy keyboards. This Apple keyboard has a nice feel, there is enough action that it provides feedback when I'm typing, but it's not so stiff that I have to really manhandle it to be able to type. It doesn't rattle when you type either like a lot of cheap keyboards do.
Not bad for a USB keyboard. I looked at the wireless one that Apple makes, but my old G3 doesn't have bluetooth and I'm not about to try to add a card to support it. I'll leave the bluetooth keyboard for my next Mac.
Anyway, I'll go back to being my normal quite self now. A week and a half to go before I can register for the spring semester!

Date: 2004-10-25 07:16 am (UTC)I'm not really complaining, it was just time for a new one. Heck, they keyboard must be some 5 years old now at least. I do like the new keyboard. No power button on it, but the delete-> key is worth it on the trade-off. ;)
Looks like life is going well in your corner of the world.

Got to say, the new dell latitude keyboard just isn't up to snuff.. it's really slowing me down and making my wrist ache again.. I think the inspiron keyboard was a little tighter than this.
Congrats on the new keyboard!
