I have a //e, I can't stand the layout :) - foreign to my PC & Modern 
Mac experience. I keep hitting Caps Lock instead of control and delete 
doesn't work - it's left arrow?! But I definitely like the way they 
feel. Very satisfying to get feedback on the key presses, reminds me of 
the IBM PC. I'm no fan of my macs' chicklets, but I'm used to them and 
they're worth the tradeoff of having macness over non-macness. My 
favorite keyboard though, amongst my current hardware, is my Lenovo T430 
Thinkpad, clean and clear and not mushy at all - too bad it's not a mac.
