<pre>OMG, laptop keyboards and modern cheap PC keyboards are complete
garbage, and the Mac Air / Intel Ultrabook super thin ones are even
worse! I don't know how you can stand to use them, let alone believe
they speed up your typing.

<p>*Some* people type faster on tactile keyboards, whereas other people type faster on chicklets or low-key-travel mechanisms. I think it largely depends what you learned to type on, and also on how you process sensory information and how your brain handles the task of typing.</p>
<p>FWIW, I haven't used a clicky keyboard in >2yrs (or so) and am quite able to live without one. I *do* still miss them, though. Even the semi-tactile ones like the MS Natural Keyboard are better than the soft-touch keyboard I use right now. (For those of you that are wondering: I needed a very lightweight, low-force keyboard for use with my Erogotron sit/stand monitor stand, to stop the monitor from bouncing all over the place!)</p>
