Ah, but buckling spring doesn't tell the whole story - the Model F and the AT keyboards use capacitive switches underneath the buckling spring assemblies, instead of a membrane.

And, there are rubber dome Model Ms, too...

How much difference does the difference make to the feel of the keys?

When I said 'call the model M buckling spring' I did only mean the buckling spring model M and derivatives. Refering to the rubber dome model Ms as buckling spring would just be silly :rolleyes:

I've actually heard that it makes the keyboard feel *MUCH* more solid. (I've also heard that it makes it MUCH louder. :D)
