Wellll, some of the "previously-owned" systems I've bought came with 3B1
keyboards whose "feel" might be to your liking; they were too "soft" for
me and I ended up buying new, taut/tight keyboards for my use.  'Sfunny,
I type extremely fast and have a light touch on the keys but need to have
a positive feedback for accurate typing ... the soft keyboards were the
source of never-ending frustration for me.

Maybe you (or others) want to swap some taut keyboards for soft ones?
