i have a Zeos keyboard ( i'm typing on
it right now ) , and i like it better than any other keyboard i've tried
. i'm not certain whether or not you would , though . the Zeos keyboards
do have tacticle and audible feedback . i've never tried a Northgate
keyboard , but i can compare them to IBM's keyboards . the feel of the
keyboard is somewhat softer -- it takes a little less force to depress
the key , and the tactile feedback ( the " click " that you feel when
the keyswitch engages ) is softer . the audible feedback is less sharp
than the IBM , too . it's a mechanical sound , but not quite the biting
pop that IBM's emit .
really , though , it's hard to learn
anything about a keyboard by reading about it . your best bet is to try
them out . if you can't find someone else that has one , then i think
that Zeos has a 30 - day , no - questions - asked , return policy , so
you can try it without risk .
