I personally own a 520, 190, and 3400c, as well as a Wallstreet. The 520, 190, and 3400c are all equally stiff, difficult to type on, causing lots of typos if I even attempt to type fast. I think it doesnt matter how old it is, because even replacements that I have purchased are stiff and retarded. I have very much grown to hate these keyboards, with a passion. The only thing worse than those keyboards are the keyboards on both of my Duos. They have to be pushed down with great force. I think they share a similar design, just smaller.
The Wallstreet keyboard though (design shared with clamshell iBooks) is absolutely a work of ergonomic art. I think I even type faster on that then on my desktop Pro Keybaord. The keyboard on the new Aluminum G4 PowerBooks feel similar, too, although

In a nutshell the 520c I just got has a keyboard that feels mushy and
nonresponsive as compared to several 100 series pbs I've had. I'm just
wondering from someone who has owned both series- is thsi normal for the
5xx, is it worn out, or is there maybe something loose inside?
Thanks for any info.
