    Can someone give me a sense of how the V131 leyboard feels, in particular:

    1. Any flex?
    2. How responsive is it?
    3. Is it mushy or clicky?
    4. How does it compare to Thinkpad keyboard?

    Thanks kindly.

    1. Yes, center (more towards top) bounces a bit under heavy typing for me.
    2. As responsive as any keyboard.
    3. No click (does any notebook?). It is a typical chicklet.
    4. Never used a Thinkpad.

    I actually really like the feel of the Dell keyboards. Not quite as nice as the keyboard on my Latitude 13, but still quite suitable for touch typing. Unlike an Acer we had with that horrible "floating island" design (like chicklet but keys are bigger so no gap between keys). The bounciness bothers me when I'm looking at it, but when concentrating on what I'm typing I don't even notice.
