Hair-trigger keyboards? by Peter Jason
Hi, where can I find keyboards with heavy keys that do not go off with the slightest touch? I make too many mistakes by just brushing over the keys by mistake. Is there a special keyword for searching for these heavier keys? I'm used to the old typewriter keys.
