They are OK as laptop keyboards go, I just really want more travel, and I
also prefer a bit of a border around the keys.

I can't detect any response from them at all myself.  They just kind of hit
bottom, like most other laptop keyboards.

Very stylish, and I guess if you also put a lot of time into a laptop, this
way you have essentially the same keyboard either way.

Some people say that helps.  I've not used laptops enough to know myself.

That's common with nearly all laptop keyboards.  They really don't intend for
you to be using that key very much.

The only solution I have found is finger training.
