Re: What sort?

Horrible new keyboards.

The sort that corporate types expect people to try and actually use.

(Usually you can BYOK, but some places are worried about keyloggers and the sorts and insist you use their equipment.)

Where did it all go wrong? Up until about the mid-late 90s keyboards were a joy to use, then they became spongy low keyed horrible to use. My theory is that the old keyboards were designed for typists, with long key travel and feedback, but modern ones are designed for people that have never used a typewriter and think that crappy keyboards are normal.
