The layout is what I like about the Northgate 102s (not the Omnikey
plus'). 

The problem I have with Northgate is the feel and the noise.  The 
clicking tactile feedback I can live with but that CLICK-CLICK-CLICK 
noise is just plain annoying.

Does anyone know if the ZEOS enhanced keyboards with the function keys
on the left have the same 'feel' and noise as the Northgate/IBM?
