In comparison to the standard 512Ke keyboard, it's wonderful. The backslash
key is in a bad place, I keep hitting it on the way to backspace, but that
is a matter of getting used to it. It's significantly better than my Sun
keyboard, also.
My typing rate is up about 4% since I switched. My error rate is down about
50%. And better, after four hours of serious writing, my fingers and wrists
aren't sore.
>Does it have a loud "clacky" sound or is it quieter?
It's quieter than my old Mac keyboard.
>Is it possible to exchange the caps lock and left command key positions,
>either through software or hardware?
No.
>If anyone has any information/opinions (especially opinions!),
Nice keyboard. Buy QuicKeys to make the thing really useful.
