I don't care about the sound of the 3270 keyboards - you could turn it off, and I frequently did - but I liked the little tactile bump in my fingertips when I'd made contact. Whenever I hit a key and didn’t depress it QUITE far enough, my fingers knew it immediately, and I backed up to retype the character before even becoming aware of it consciously.

It is after men have given in to the irremediable, after they have despaired of relief and ceased to think even a half-hour ahead, that the dangers of humbled and gentle weariness begin. -advice to a tempter, from The Screwtape Letters by C S Lewis */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Farley, Peter Sent: Tuesday, July 4, 2023 20:09 I never saw the attraction of "mechanical" keystroke sound and feeling. It never really did anything for me, though I remember it very well from the real-iron 3270 hardware I used. I am told gamers love those sounds and feelings though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
