Title: IBM Soft Touch
Post by: SH1 on Sat, 14 January 2012, 17:17:54

Tried out a new one.  The silence is kind of neat.  Unfortunately, IBM (well, Lexmark) not only suppressed the auditory feedback, but the tactile as well.   It's all smooth with no tactile (or auditory) click.  

Thought I might be getting fooled by the lack of auditory feedback, so I tried it with headphones and music on to block my hearing.  Typed on the Soft Touch and then a regular model M, and nope, the feeling is gone...
