I am planning on gradually migrating most of my work
from a Sun Ultra 5 to a Dell 850 P-III, but one of the
things that I find annoying is how much better the Sun
keyboard is. I am talking here about feel mainly--the
keys feel smooth with good touch feedback and they are
quiet. The Dell keyboard by contrast feels and sounds
cheap--and is *much* less pleasant to type on (e.g., if
you hit the ctrl or alt keys off center they stick going
down).
I went around and looked at whether anyone else here had
a better keyboard. No. I also went to Staples and tried
several Micro, Logitech, and even M$ keyboards. None came
anywhere close to the Sun. They all feel pretty cheap,
are noisy (keys rattle when you type fast), or have weird key
shapes (e.g., very short). The best was the cheapest--the
Micro unit. The rest seem to have put their money into adding
useless "Internet ready" buttons all over the things instead of
producing a quality keyboard!
So my question is, does anyone know of a PC keyboard that
is comparable in quality/feel to what Sun provides? I'm sure
that Sun is just buying them from some keyboard maker. Who
is it??
Thanks,
Norm
