I've got one here (after using Google to find out what it was) -- it came
with my Quicksilver G4 Dual 800. I've also got one of the newer-style Pro
ones with white keys, came with my G5 Dual 2.0GHz. Neither is plugged in at
the moment, but typing on them dead on my desk shows no appreciable
difference in key resistance. There's a difference in audible feedback, but
the tactile feedback -- aside from the smoothness of the keys on the
blue-keyed board from years of use versus the "brand new" feel of the other
keyboard, which I've never used -- feels the same to my fingers.

That said, for the last four years I've used the macally iceKEY, which as
another poster said, features scissor switches and very flat profile keys.
I'm on my second one -- the first one's letters wore off the keys. :-)

peace,
Linda
