Regarding the question concerning tactile response on Northgate keyboards:

I have an IBM PS/2 in the office and a Northgate at home so can offer some
direct experience on the differences.  The Northgate definitely has a tactile
response much better than other clones I've used.  There is a definite click,
and resistance to a keypush to let you know you've successfully entered the
keystroke.  The resistance, however, is definitely less than IBM's.  If you
have strong fingers and like "crunching", you may prefer the IBM.  On the
other hand, Northgate's keyboard offers a lighter touch with the same
advantage of tactile feedback.  Bottom line?  I prefer Northgate's.
