1400 vs. Wallstreet Keyboard Quality?

[John Hokanson Jr.]

Based entirely on keyboard quality and nothing else, what one was better?

I know people rave about the keyboard on the 1400, but I've heard the Wallstreet was good too.

I liked the 1400 better I think. The wallstreet was a little spongy for me.

1400. No comparison. In fact, I don't think it's exaggerating to say it was probably the best laptop keyboard Apple ever made. People used them for years for word processing just because it was so nice to work on, despite the system's other drawbacks.

Of course, I love my 1400.

That's about what I thought. Funny how the older tech is better in this regard. Then again, I have always suspected that keyboards are really regressing.

I purchased my 520 with the intent to use it as a easily movable word processing machine, but I'm kinda put off by the keyboard (but otherwise like it). I'm thinking about putting it on other duties, like vintage games, and getting something like a 1400 for a word processor.
