Not at all.
Well, I learned to type on a typewriter (manual), so
my keystrokes
probably want to be deeper. Most modern keyboards don't have enough
key travel for my taste. The model M is better than most-
I'm pretty much the opposite. Despite the fact that I also learned
on manual typewriters and also play the piano, I find the long
travel of the Model M uncomfortable. As for the sound, I used to
like the click on the VT100, but these days, a loud keyboard is
very distracting. There's exactly one Model M in our open plan
office and the moment it goes into use, I have to reach for noise-
cancelling headphones *and* run music through them to drown it
out.
I know many people complain about laptop keyboards, but I've
come to quite like them.
