I must concur. I like the light touch of the ST keyboard. I can also touch type
and find some of the IBM keyboards (especially the 'XT') type terrible to use. I
also don't like the click that so many people seem to require.
About the only improvement would be some marking of the 'home' keys (f & j) as I
sometimes get going 'out of sync'
for what it's worth
