That's likely true.  It does feel weird.  It's not as loud as those really old IBM keyboards like from the 80's and 90's.  It made some noise just not as much as those.  Sometimes I'm pressing a key and don't even know it.  Then I end up with several of the same characters in a row.  Others times, I hit a key next to the one I want to push.  When searching around, I found lots of other posts about people missing those old Dell QuietKey keyboards.  I'm not alone.  It's annoying as heck.  I spend twice as much time correcting typos than I do actually typing something in.  My typing was bad enough already.  LOL  I did my update a bit ago.  The tree sure didn't change much on the past week or so.  Less bugs maybe.  We can always hope.  Dale :-)  :-)  P. S.  Watered some trees today.  Getting kinda dry here.  Hoping for a good acorn crop.  The deer are too.  There was no acorns last year.  Lots of people lots their shrubs and stuff.  They gotta eat.  ;-) --------------C693790D36C0D2934FD35828 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I been looking for a keyboard that is like the old Dell QuietKey but
they either ridiculously expensive or are old Dell keyboards with the
PS/2 connector like I already have.  Thought about buying a adapter so I
can use the old Dell.  That would fix the problem. 

Now that I've proofed this thing half a dozen times and corrected a

I suspect you were used to a membrane keyboard, or if it clickety-clacked 
noisily a mechanical switch keyboard, with full travel switches.  Now you have 
bought a low profile scissor switch keyboard, with tactile switches.  The 
distance between the keys is the same, but the travel and feel is different.

Over time you'd get used to the new switches, which require less effort and 
force.


That's likely true.  It does feel weird.  It's not as loud as those really old IBM keyboards like from the 80's and 90's.  It made some noise just not as much as those.  Sometimes I'm pressing a key and don't even know it.  Then I end up with several of the same characters in a row.  Others times, I hit a key next to the one I want to push.  When searching around, I found lots of other posts about people missing those old Dell QuietKey keyboards.  I'm not alone.
