 Mo> bastards); I hate'em.

 I have a tech thrift shop near me - they have some awesome specials
 every once in a while - I picked up an IBM-branded Thinkpad external
 keyboard (it's the keyboard from a T4x series laptop with the
 trackpoint and trackpad, in an enclosure with USB cable)

 But, in the same bin, they'll have a yellowing old membrane keyboard.
 I'll press a couple of keys and remember why I hated old Compaq
 computers in the '90s.

 What I do miss were the Dell QuietKey keyboards. Nice feel, they were
 still cheap OEM keyboards (when cheap OEM keyboards were nice).

 I'm using a Logitech MX keys keyboard - very little travel, but just
 enough - and quiet. Feels like an old Thinkpad keyboard, which I liked.
