|The much praised Northgate OmniKey is the *worst* keyboard I have ever
|used (I haven't tried pounding nails with it, but I suspect that it's
|not much good for that either).
|
|Which leads me to ask:  What is it that so many of you do with it
|that you like it so much?  The "feel" is horrible.  I much prefer 
|either IBM or my (admittedly cheesly - Made in Taiwan) ZEOS 
|keyboard for both writing and programming - nice easy touch, crisp
|click.

There's no accounting for taste.  I don't like clicking keys or a
stiff feel. I prefer a mushier keyboard, with a light touch, like
the Wyse Taiwan keyboard I'm using right now.

People used to the stiffer keys of a Selectric will prefer the
IBM keyboard.  I never liked typewriters, and have only become a
regular keyboarder with the advent of PCs.

Everyone's preferences are different... that's why so many
companies can make so many different keyboards.
