Dan,

Haven't tried a 760/560 so I can't say for sure.  There is a lot more
key travel on the keyboard than on my 755cx. Both have excellent tactile
feel.  The "buckling spring" keyboard is unlike (and preferable to) 
any other keyboard I have used.  Newer IBM keyboards (desktops) don't
have the buckling spring and I feel they are inferior to the older, 
higher quality (IMHO), ones.
