The LK201 and LK401 are compatible in every way. The LK201 is as flat as
a board, and achieved a dubious distinction when it was involved in a
repetitive-strain injury lawsuit. The LK401 is the ergonomic variety.
However, the keys are a little different between the two, and a lot of
people prefer the key feel from the original LK201. I prefer the LK401,
myself. Actually, my favorite are the IBM buckling-spring "clickety"
models. Especially the 3278 terminal keyboards.
