Clicks...

The keys on the Saitek are nothing like that of a laptop. I find laptop keys "mushy". They are usually flush with the base so less space for them to depress.

OK, this is weird, but I have to hear the click to know I just typed the letter. I also have to see it on the screen. I cannot type while looking away, though I never look at the keys. Go figure. This keyboard is not exceptionally loud, but when you hit the keys, you know it from the sound and you know it from the feel. Hard to explain. The MS Digital Media Pro keyboard I just bought is nice and all, but it just doesn't have that nice tactile feel/response. I feel like I have to press harder on the MS keyboard. Probably if I used it for a week I'd get used to it, but I find I make too many mistakes with it, so it's back to my old faithful Saitek. I used to use Logitech, but they got mushy too!
