Thanks Jim for your help! And Andy, C Margaret et al! Biggest detractions for me is that I am kind of “rolling chord” typer as well perhaps (ha!), and file format concerns. Still, the form factor is so nice! I have both the Neo and the Model T (though I admit, I still haven't got the transfers

Jim, thanks for that fascinating summary. The work you did to pin this down and reproduce the problem is terrific. I had always suspected that the "ghost characters" were the result of my typing style, as I have a tendency to glide or roll my fingers much as you described, especially going

I have an M100, 102 and WP-2, and their keyboards rank in that order for me. The M100 is firm and ‘clicky’, the 102 slightly softer with a slightly greater degree of resistance, and the WP-2 is firmer, more resistive, and a bit vague. Not the same keyboards at all, though the WP-2 has become my

Agree.  And as an occasional writer, I seem to recall that the processing of the text on the screen at times doesn't keep up with the keystrokes. That said, it is a nifty little device for what it is. On Monday, November 16, 2020, 08:43:39 AM EST, Josh Malone wrote: On Mon, Nov 16,
