keyboards

[ramtops]

I got a keyboard like this one with the Mac Pro. It's tiny, and it allowed me to reclaim what felt like acres of desk space. I've used it since I got the Pro, about three months ago, and I have really really tried to like it. It is just too small - I keep mis-hitting the keys even after all this time.

So this morning, I fetched out my Matias Tactile Pro, cleaned it (shock horror!) and perlmonger plugged it back in for me, for I am just a gurly and don't do computery things. And lo, peace is restored. A rather clacky peace, to be sure, but it's *so* nice to have it back.

I tried the new Apple keyboard. I am used to IBM Model Ms and Unicomp clones thereof.

The new Apple keyboard puts me in mind of a cross between a short-travel Sinclair QL and a bag of Scrabble tiles. It does not feel like something I'd keep, or want to keep, for years.
