Good morning Peter,
I personally find the keyboard on my Aluminum G4 to be the best
laptop keyboard I've owned (going back about 15 years). Some people
I've talked with like the newer laptop keyboards better, but I don't.
In my office (and on the road, when I know I'm going to be doing a
lot of typing I carry a Mac/PC mini PRO from:
http://www.fentek-ind.com/kbmmacusb.htm
It uses the black-stemmed Cherry mechanical keyswitches (more info if
you are interested).
There is a USB model buckling spring keyboard based on the IBM Model M:
Google "IBM Model M" for a vast amount of information on the keyboard
- including sources of PS/2 to USB adapters (buy an old M at a garage
sale for $4).
I have not tried it, but, like you, remember the clickety clack Model
M fondly.
Another helpful item is:
Product Page: <http://www.sustworks.com/site/
prod_keyclick_overview.html>
This does not change the tactile part of typing but definitely
improves the auditory - you hear the keys click. And you can adjust
the volume! I've used it for a while now and like it a lot (great
bargain at $5). For a treat, try "typewriter" mode. You can try this
for a couple weeks without buying it.
Sincerely,
Paul Looney

Does anyone use this for lots of regular typing, writing prose, and
if so how
do you like it? I like the old clickety clack buckling spring
keyboards,
IBM or the old Apple extended. Or failing that quite like the
logitech OEM.
But am thinking about the aluminum because its quiet and compact and
requires little finger travel. But a bit worried about how it will
be for
doing a lot of writing.
