I've been using this washable keyboard just for the heck of it.
The good, well, it's washable (haven't tried that yet). The bad, the tactile feel doesn't give the nice click like the keyboard I was using. Typing is acceptable but my fingers can't fly on the keyboard while touch typing.
I did find this fun (and helpful) program, called Qwertick (Windows only) that does one thing in particular. With each key pressed, the program makes a keystroke noise like the old fashioned typewriters. Also, each time I press the return key, there is a carriage return and bell sound .
If you want to get nostalgic of the typing days, give the program a run. No ribbon needed
There is a program that simulates the click of an old IBM keyboard. Which I'd really want instead of a typewriter. But, that is unix only.
