@ Puttabong:
PC keyboards are not always the same. I couldn't type with a cherry keyboard where every key clicks. I know keyboards from a lot of computers, the C64 keybord needs a lot of pressure, but you can use it for long, the C128 keyboard is way better although you still need pressure. It's better because the form of the keys. The Amiga keyboard is great, while Atari keyboards are crap. Sinclair used rubber keys for the Spectrum ;-) This computer was designed to be extremely cheap, that's why it has RAM chips which were defective in one half. PC/XT keyboards (10 f-keys on the left side) are cruel, also the early IBM keyboards - but some people swar of them, it's the same with Cherry keyboards. I think the old Fujitsu/Siemens keyboards wre rather soft, not good for work. Since 2003 I'm using Logitech wireless keyboards and won't get away from them. But I have 4 different versions, all feel different, but all are good. I haven't tested Apple keyboards for a longer time yet, but at least the look of the Macbook keyboards is horrible and I'm not sure if they are good for long work. For normal use I have the problem that Apple keyboards have a cable, and I don't trust Bluetooth. The Logitech controller supports up to 1024 different keyboards, this is good because I have 4 computers with wireless keyboard/mouse combinations in one room. The Mighty Mouse is horrible. I need to feel and hear the keys and the scroll wheel. The scroll ball on the Mighty Mouse is too small for me, maybe 'cause I have thin fingers, keine Wurstfinger ;-) A mouse is also important, the new Logitech mice are too big for me.
@ Voyn1x:
I know that my posts to a simple subject will get a little song sometimes (see above), but this happens for information or because you can't judge everything with one sentence, like Puttabong and his Apple keyboard. A lot of users give an answer in one sentence only, and often this isn't enough.
