he probably believes it's a clicky since those keyboards makes a great deal of sound when the plastic key hits the plastic bottom plate...  (when they bottom out).

:P

Well, he doesn't describe it as "clicky".  He says it provides "aural (a characteristic, loud "click-clack") feedback", which could be true if you count the sound of bottoming out the keys and the clacking of the key caps.

WTF is exactly what first came to mind.  Those new IBM boards are terrible.
