Keyboard question about Lifebook

Hello guys:

I have a quick question. Hope you can help me out.

I haven’t tried a Fujitsu laptop.

How would you describe the keyboard? Light touch? Lots of flex? How similar to other brands like HP, Toshiba, Acer?

I found Toshiba too light. Acer for example had a nice flex, it was similar to Dell but not quite as good.

I read a review somewhere, where they said the Fujitsu keyboard was roomy enough but “keys were too loud for their taste.”

If you ever tried other laptops, how would you compare it with the rest from the likes of HP, Gateway, Toshiba, etc.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.

 

I can't tell much about light touch, I think almost all the laptops I have seen in a store are light touch keyboards compare to desktop ones. I can't tell much difference on sensitivity owning toshiba m55 and fujitsu N3410.

toshiba,compaq,hp are ok but have bit of flex. fujitsu have almost no flex at all.

I find IBM/lenovo to have best quality keyboards, while fujitsu comes 2nd, sony comes 3rd because its weird key shape which I wonder if its good or bad.

I am curious about asus keyboard as I heard they are quality laptops too.

Only the least light touch I have seen is the X series in IBM/lenovo.

I never notice on if keys are loud or not since it never bothers me, but it would be awkward for me if I don't hear anything I type

 

Boon27: thank you for taking the time to give me an idea.

I asked about it because I came across a review saying the Fujitsu keyboard was somewhat flimsy. I can’t remember which particular notebook they were talking about, especially since another review found a different Fujitsu model, quite great.

The more I read about it the more confusing it gets. I think it all boils down to one’s particular taste.

What you said about loud keys, I agree. I used to think the same way, until I tried a C series from Lenovo. I am used to type on Dell notebooks, and when I tried that thing, I could not put up with it. Again, that’s me. Maybe someone will say its great. In order for me to say the same thing I would need to change the keyboard, otherwise is not worth a penny. Or to put it another way, yes, it pays to resell it but not to own one.

Boon, take care. Have a good one.

 

well....on my n3530, there is a little flex. it isn't too bad. but for some reason, it doesn't always register the keystrokes...particularly f and m. i believe the other n3530 review here had the same problem. the keys tend to stiffer than on other notebooks i've used (dell latitude and clevo notebooks), so it requires a stronger keystroke....at least for me.
