A. Smith Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) That powerbook keyboard is still the best keyboard I've put my fingers to. From the key travel and mix of mushy-clickiness to the scalloped key caps. Just love it. Is there anything similar to that in external keyboards? Edited June 28 by A.

MacMan Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I don't know the answer to that question, but I have to agree that that was a great keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 The PowerBook G4 Keyboard was hands down the BEST computer keyboard I've ever used on a desktop or notebook, period. It was such a joy to use. Far superior to anything Apple has designed since then, and far more rock-solid and reliable. Have had issues with multiple MacBook Pro keyboards over the years, but my PowerBook keyboard never gave me trouble. I've never seen anything like it. I wanted to soup up an old PowerBook just to enjoy the keyboard and the durability of the system, but the OS was really too old to do anything decent, and I couldn't get Linux booted on it.

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Side question: Anyone used mechanical keyboards? Wondering if they're worth the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using an old "daskeyboard" in my office, and yes, it is worth the hype. Very precise and accurate typing is possible, and it has a couple of shortcut keys that I find useful, as well as a wheel for controlling volume. Mine is big, and it is tethered, so I have constructed a drawer under my desk to keep the cable and keyboard out of sight when not in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Good to know. Been debating whether to get one. I have a very heavy type, so I'm a bit rough on keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
