Re: 1400 vs 2400 vs 3400 keyboards

[Dan Palka]

I found some 1400s on eBay but I was wondering if anyone on the list has one
they'd like to sell?  I'd rather buy one from a good home...

I can't seem to joine the LEM Swap List

I think the general consensus is that the 1400 keyboard is one of the
best ever made by Apple.

If you look around, you will have a hard time finding a 2400 and will
pay probably twice as much for a 2400 as a 1400. The 1400's are
plentiful and inexpensive.

I agree, the 3400c's keyboard is horrible. Compared to that, the 
keyboard on the 2400c is an absolute delight (unless you want your keys 
big!). Sorry, no experience with the 1400c.

I absolutely hate the 3400c's keyboard.

I heard good things about the 1400 keyboards, but they look the  
same in

pictures?  What's different about them?  Are they easier to type on?

1400 is the best. Ever.
It has a nice thick aluminum plate below the keys, so you don't get  
the flex that happens in the 500/5300/3400 series. Good action on the  
keys, too.

Re: 1400 vs 2400 vs 3400 keyboards

[Rick McCutcheon]

Dan,

I write a lot of text as part of my work.  The keyboard on the 1400 is 
fabulous, perhaps the best keyboard of any powerbook, ever, far better 
than the spongy one on this TiBook I'm using to write this message... I 
tried a 3400 and didn't like it.  Don't know the 2400 from experience.

Yes. My 1400's keyboard is superb.

I own a 1400and I LOVE the keyboard, it is actual standard size and
the keys are great.  I took two pictures. . .

If you are considering a Power Book for keyboard I would go with the
1400, however the 2400 is smaller but with a lack of internal drives. 
It is up to you.
