I guess I'm weird. I was spoiled by the 1984 Macintosh 128 keyboard. It had
tall keys with a long travel and made a wonderful clacking noise! I loved
typing on it. Talk about keyboard feedback - it was almost like typing with
an IBM Selectronic typewriter! Just about everything else feels flimsy and
plastic-ey to me. I now use a MacAlly iMedia keyboard which also gives off a
clackity-clack sound and has relatively long travel and constant feedback.

I guess this shows my age!
