Various questions and answers concerning Keyboards
Applicable to: World-Wide
Question:
IBM sells a number of keyboards, including the "Basic 101-Key Keyboard" and the "Enhanced 101-Key Keyboard." What's the difference?
Answer:
The Basic keyboard uses the same rubber-dome keyboard technology as most competing brands, as well as the IBM PC 300 and ValuePoint 6381 systems. It is quieter than the more expensive buckling-spring technology used in the Enhanced keyboard, but has a more "rubbery" feel. Some users prefer one type, and some the other. The Enhanced 101-Key Keyboard, and Enhanced Keyboard with TrackPoint II, are available if you prefer the feel of a buckling-spring keyboard.
