It's not popular to say so, but I don't like the 1400 keyboard - although
it probably _is_ the best of the lowend 'Books. But I have a WS and a
1400 right here in front of me now and the 1400's feels very clunky by
comparison. A friend has just switched from his 1400 to a WS and finds
the WS's incomparably better. I like the WS's, but if pushed, I prefer
the Lombard/Pismo's (which is the same the original iBook's, although the
Lomb/Pismo's is better mounted). I've experienced none of the flex often
mentioned with these keyboard (so long as youput it back properly &
tighten up the KB screw, it's fine). I sometimes find the WS keyboard a
little soft to touch. But then again, I bash keys on an Apple Extended II
- still my favourite KB.
