I had and used several of those kind of keyboards. Except for having to
push the keys a little harder than I'd like, they were perfect.

Let me give a shoutout to another great keyboard: The keyboard that
came with the Kaypro 2x. This smooth-feeling lightly-springed keyboard
had almost no resistance until you hit bottom, at which time you heard a
click and simultaneously saw a character on the screen. It was
wonderful and you could type on it all day (I did).
