Keyboards are a matter of personal preference. I think Mac keyboards are
too springy, the Mega keys are just right, the 520/1040 keys are slightly
mushy, and KEYCLICK IS A COMMUNIST PLOT TO DRIVE ME INSANE. The most
important feature about keyclick is that it can be disabled. Thank God.

Your mileage may differ. But please don't go around saying "everybody
thinks the best keyboard ever made was the original IBM PC 'kchunck kchunck'
keyboard". You'll find that lots of people have a very different opinion.
