Re: Heavy duty, feels-good keyboard for typist with a vengeance
Yes, I mentioned Matias' Tactile Pro above. Alas, my funds are a bit low to be buying a keyboard that nice (I'm really shooting to get an iPad when they come out). The Yamaha Clavinovas are probably the best-designed electric keyboards ever made. The real levers and hammers make me feel like I'm playing a real piano. As to sound, with the built-in speaker, quality is OK, but put on headphones or run them through an amp, and there's no real noticeable difference between a real piano and a Clavinova. I was a bit surprised when I put headphones on for the first time with one of these things—I thought they weren't working because the sound was so balanced, natural, and lifelike. Only after I took them off and tried playing again did I realize that the sound was coming through the headphones. If the AEK and Model M are as close to typing perfection as a Clavinova is, I'll be in typist heaven.

I had a somewhat nerdy thought the other day about getting some old Mac hardware.

Heavy duty, feels-good keyboard for typist with a vengeance
I can certainly recommend Lindy USB Mac specific keyboards. They use switches rather than a membrane, so they're very positive action (although not the quietest in the world!) and also have two USB sockets so rodents can be plugged in. Don't know if they still make them to this standard: I've bought all 4 of mine off ebay and they date back to G3 days, and come in various Mac colours. They work well, and are relatively easy to dismantle for cleaning purposes. They have a similar feel to the classic IBM AT keyboards that everyone used to love in XT/ 286 days!

Re: Heavy duty, feels-good keyboard for typist with a vengeance
Lindy would be great if I lived in the UK. I believe the North American equivalent would be the Matias Tactile Pro (now in it's third revision), which is made in Canada and sells for $149. I'm not quite that obsessed yet. The IBM AT keyboard is known as the Model M, and it came in several revisions, from ancient to fairly modern. The mechanisms in the Model M are buckled spring keycaps, while the Apple Extended and Extended II use Alps keycaps, just like the Tactile Pro series. (I just found all this out last night, but I'm pretty sure I used a Model M or similar in kindergarten on our old Win 3.1 PCs) I'm going to be weighing the Alps vs. the buckled springs, and I'll see what I come up with. Perhaps I'll look at a trackball while I'm at it (whoa, I just had a 90's moment). Thanks for the advice, though.

Re: Heavy duty, feels-good keyboard for typist with a vengeance
So, the Extended Keyboard II has the Alps, but is quieter and lighter than the original and the Model M. That would be nice (although the Model M might bring up some nostalgic feelings in my newspaper advisor—she's a middle-aged English instructor who's been working with computers for awhile). Yeah, I saw the prices on the ADB to USB… ouch. I'm not a big Dell fan… COUGH*cheap*COUGH. But I'm willing to look at it and see. We have crappy keyboards for almost all of our computers here at home, so I think I might look at getting several different keyboards (especially the AEK and AEKII). The PowerBook Duo we have is possibly going to get a floppy here in the near future, so I think I might get an AEK for its sake. On Feb 25, 8:01 am, Caleb S.

Heavy duty, feels-good keyboard for typist with a vengeance
I'm a member of several of the LEM groups, as I operate a whole variety of Macs in a variety of situations at a variety of different times. I have my faithful PowerBook G3 Pismo 500 MHz with Tiger that I use for several hours every day; my sister has my PowerBook Duo 230 that I fiddle with every few months or so; my sister also has my old iBook Clamshell 300 MHz with OS X Puma that I've been upgrading for her; I bought an iMac G4 800 MHz with Tiger that my mother uses frequently throughout the day (and my younger brother plays SNES games with an emulator on it); I work with 2009 Intel iMacs at college for newspaper production and fun; and I am currently preparing to state my case to have an old Digital Audio G4 upgraded at college for use with a Yamaha Clavinova keyboard and Finale 2008. That said, I'm used to anachronisms. I'm probably one of the few people my age that wouldn't mind playing/working with System 7 (or earlier). I grew up unknowingly loving Macs, and my passion for this different breed of computers will continue as I purchase my iPad 3G in April. However, I am a very heavy typist. Between English, my college newspaper, emails, chats, and my yet-unfinished novels, I am constantly typing. My Pismo has a great keyboard for a laptop, but I wouldn't mind having something more comfortable and durable. The difference between the keyboards I work with and the keyboard I would like to have is like the difference between a cheap Casio keyboard and my college's $4000 Yamaha Clavinovas (as close to a grand as you can get in an electronic, complete with real piano levers/hammers and heavy keys). So, my question is, are there any of you out there that use keyboards in the caliber of the Apple Extended Keyboard and the IBM Model M? How do you like them, and would they be worth carrying around (with a USB adapter, of course)? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
