Was Max using a PS/1 keyboards? Very easy to twist the whole
keyboard and it's thin, more easily to radiate noise. Tried the
heavies ones that feels like weighs over 1 tonne PS/2 type?
Clicks and viberating springs, hitting sides of the key guides when
it bows under suddenly (they're under compression and very stiff
spring wire.) does generate hi-freqs. Sometimes I hear a high
pitched sproooing when snapped back to inital position.
But that doesn't bother me, but without good feedback I get real all
weird by feelings (shaking hands and not able to get "contact
made!") and frustrated at typing errors.
