I'd hardly classify it as "mushy/spongy". These keyboards offer a "soft" feedback. At least for me, it provides a much better silent and efficient operation, without having to put more strain on the fingers.
I also have a Cordless Desktop LX710 set from Logitech at the office, and although the keyboard is not curved, it's very comfortable to type, with a feedback very similar to the Microsoft one.
