I think it's not the "mushiness", but a question of key travel.  I despise
notebook keyboards because of their short travel.  I've got a couple of old
NCR keyboards (made in Germany by Cherry) that don't have the hard "click"
feel of the IBM, but have generous key travel nonetheless.  If they could
do F11 and F12, I'd still be using them (oddly, there are 30 function keys,
but the 11-20 and 21-30 just generate shift- and ctrl- F1-10 respectively.
 And F1-10 are where they belong--on the left side.

Cheers,
Chuck
