The A20/T20 keyboard just doesn't strike me as having as much travel or as
good a feel to me (subjective stuff of course.)

I support some 600's and 770's as well as my A20 and I personally seem to
notice that the 600 and 770 keyboards feel better.

That being said, the A20 keyboard is OK, it just isn't great IMHO. However,
the trackpoint is still the best pointing device and reason enough for me to
stay with an IBM.

Note: I know the Dell 3700/3800/Latitude series have a Trackpoint, but it's
not as finely tuned as the IBM and the button placement is poor compared to
the IBM.

Wow, I just read two review which said the best thing about the
T20/A20's was the keyboard... One was in computer resellers news...
I'll find the other...

I thought the T20 keyboard was excellent. But I haven't tried the 770.
