Can't get used to "gritty" keys

[donmei]

To me, its fine. But far from the best keyboard I've ever used.

Best wouldhave to be an old IbM brand with the "buckling spring" action. aka, clicky keys.

I can fly on that thing.
I had one with a trackpoint, just like a thinkpad, sweet. but it eventually wore out.

The feel of the keys was one of the first things that struck me when I started using a MBP. The keys on my 12" PB are smooth, and were when the laptop was new. I prefer that feel, because whenever my nails touch the keys on the MBP, I feel like I'm scratching them.

Mine are smooth, being cautious at the moment, as its new.

Kinda like the way the keys are plastic, i dont like the cold feel you get from the wristpad area when im doing light stuff.

Mine feel kinda rubbery.

Then again, i am using a keyboard cover, which works unrealistically great.

All my MBPs have had smooth, almost glossy keyboards....until this last replacement which has that almost textured feel. Don't like it either, feels like my fingers stick to it a little when I'm typing fast. Must be two suppliers?

Over a year of R&D went into the key texture. Its more tactile.

R&D is overrated. The keys feel like mini chalkboards... not a great experience.
