Is that the same as the PC and the PS/2 keyboards?
Those things are
terribly noisy, they give me a headache. I like the click, but it has a
high-pitched overtone.
It does? I have an old PS/2 keyboard connected to my P200, and never
noticed anything high-pitched. The space bar is a bit louder then the rest
of the keys, and there's an occasional *sproing* from a stuck spring in a
few of the keys. Other than that, it's a great keyboard. The PC keyboard
is another good one. They both give the sure feel that a letter is going to
come onto the screen (usually), unlike the new membrane (squishy-key)
keyboards that almost have the feel of the Coco 2 keyboard.
The only time that I would think the clicking would give someone a headache
would be if they were locked in a sound-proof round all-white room with no
windows, and dome ceiling, but then again, that's just my opinion.
