Hi Testing a 1.75 with the HS 'clicky' keyboard
Speak is a bit clicky. The clicks occur in the same places on the same text. Repeat some text: ctrl C ctrl V ctrl V .... and the same word is clicky, eg 'the quick brown fox' the word 'quick' is noticably more clicky. Power on fanfare sounds louder and tinnier. Maybe a peak or resonance in the treble? I have noticed on the 1.5 and 1.75 mouse that if my finger is too far forward on the button it overhangs the pad and gives a jumpy cursor. The pad is not sure which finger to track.
