Exclamation Need Keyboard help

I just bought a Dell SK-8115 model keyboard from ebay, used but the seller said it was in good condition. It is the newest standard keyboard that comes with dell machines.

The keys are not as crisp as I had imagined. They are quiet, and do not click as well as I had hoped. Should it be like this? Am am asking if anyone uses/has this type of keyboard and can tell me how theirs works. If you own a dell keyboard, check the info on the back to see the model #. Thanks

My keyboard is an SK-8100 series... It is designed to be a "Quiet Key" keyboard, so I'm not sure how much clicking you were hoping for. Is it as clicky as old keyboards, no; is it more clicky than some other keyboards out there now, yes. Kind of an in-between level...

Thanks. I sort of answered my own question, I suppose. I am now on a new SK-8115 where I work and it is what I was looking for. I think the keyboard that i ordered on ebay just isnt great.

Actually this is an L100... but i see now difference between the two..
