Honestly I've gotten really use to Das or mechinal keyboards so anything 
else feels really

mushy to me. Even this Mac laptop a family member gave to me and I just 
use Linux on it.

Its not bad just the travel really sucks and the feel is weird even 
through my Das keyboard

which I'm had for over 2 years feels a lot better.

Maybe I'm just gotten spoiled by mechinal keyboards,

Nick
