Is the tactile experience similar to a typewriter? I like the feel of typing on a typewriter and wondering how this compares.

The Neo (Not Neo 2) is OK. Certainly as good as a PC keyboard. Not really like a typewriter keyboard. I used to own a Neo 2 and that is the best keyboard I have ever used anywhere. I used to hook it up to my PC so I could use it as my PC keyboard in addition to using it separately as a word processor. When I bought the Neo I have now, I wasn't happy with the difference in the quality of the keyboard...but it is still a Neo.

It has softer keys, more like a computer keyboard. It is a little on the stiffer side though.

Good morning ArtGirl -- I have had my Tactile KB for about 2 years. No problem on my iMac --install or use. . It has strong sound when typing, the response from the keys is solid and robust compared to the slim KB. I like the sound, solid feel and response. Good luck.

Hmm... Typing on it now, I'd say that the keys have a very small amount of resistance. I like it, enough to feel like you're pressing a button, but not at all difficult to do so.

One more issue. I touch type, which means you don't look at your keyboard at all when you type. So feeling the keyboard is important. The extra column of keys on the left M1 to M5 confuses my brain. Because my fingers feel the keys starting more to the left, I am constantly typing towards the left. Pushing S for D, A for S, and CAPS for A. I will try to get used to this.anyone else getting tricked up by the extra row?

I have not had it long enough to say, over time, but so far it is good. I have had others that the letters disappeared within a month, on the often used letters, so comparing tothose I would say it is better. I really love the way it is so easy to use. Comfortable typing. I do a lot of typing online and have enjoyed this keyboard more than others. And for the price, I think it can't be beat.

This is NOT mechanical those are expensive this are rubber dome older types. The keys do feel harder to press down than others i think thats what they call tactile feel. Wrist rest sucks and the backspace key is small. Despite those flaws i just mentioned it looks really good for a cheap keyboard.

I sent this back because of something about the software it had on it. Having used another such laptop: This is WONDERFUL. If you are a fast typist, the keyboard is a godsend. I really miss it. It is very comfortable to work on. It does not heat up like some do. Darn, I would love to have one. For the same price, I bought a desktop from Quill.com (a Dell refurbished for $300, far less than Dell would dream of selling it for. Wish you luck finding a laptop like this one, Dawn.

Yes--I strike waaaay too many extra keys when typing on a laptop and am constantly correcting my typing. Standard keyboards are much more user friendly for me. EB

A soft action. If you have used an a APPLE Bluetooth keyboard, it feels much the same.

Kay - In playing with a color version on display at a local store, I think you will like the keyboard. It feels great as well as looks good. I started this post due to not being able to get a hands-on feel for the black keyboard.

Using a pen is more comfortable than using a mouse. It causes less stress on fingers as well as wrists. I had tendinitis in my fingers that was aggravated by using a mouse or a trackball. The pen was a huge improvement. I've had lots less pain when I used it

I'm not sure about that, but I really didn't like the keyboard and I stopped using it. One hopes it will be like a "real" keyboard - but it really isn't. I got a bluetooth keyboard and it feels like the real thing and works great.

If you do a lot of typing, this might not be the best keyboard. I do a lot of typing, but it is intermittent. I just don't sit there and type for hours at a time. If you like this style, Sculpt does have a slightly bigger model with a few extra accessory keys that might provide more conveyance as well as comfort.

Great contrast if you look when you type. The feel is very similar to other logitech keyboards. Easy to type on.

They feel roughly equivalent to the keyboards on macbook pros except for the function/escape keys, which are not keys, but rather buttons. If you use these (escape key / Vi), I can't recommend the keyboard.

Absolutely not! Not on mine, at least. It's keys are extremely easy to press and use, and feel much like a Hammond Organ (if you've ever felt one of those) haha!

Its basically the safari, with an aluminum body, depending on what kind of nib you had chosen with the safari, if you had always used extra fine with the safari then this pen basically feels the same in terms of being a little more scratchy than a fine and more so then a medium nib. Depending on your preferences this pen may be better or worse, some people prefer the hard plastic feel of the safari but i personally like the nice cold aluminum that encompasses this pen, it almost feels a little thinner than the safari exterior, and may scratch a little easier, but i still like this more than the safari none the less.
