When it arrives, please report on the keyboard. The Nspire series has had its share of keyboard quirks.

- Original Nspire Clickpad - creative arrangement of letters that didn't work out so well. Anybody with fingers wider than average couldn't use it without hitting the wrong key.
- Nspire Touchpad - better, but the removable keyboard often had problems with the contacts where the keyboard plugged into the calculator. My students often complain about keys not registering due to the plug, not the actual keys. Also, there are a half a dozen different types of keys on the keyboard and they all feel different from each other. I found it hard to get into a rhythm.
- Nspire CX - I really dislike the CX keys. They are extremely stiff with very little "travel". They remind me of my college roommate's TI-55-II. I had a TI-55 which worked okay, but the 55-II keyboards had terrible debouncing issues. The Nspire CX does not have the debouncing problem, but they have the same stiff feel.

So I'm very curious how the CX-II keys will feel.

Edit: By the way, when my TI-55 died, I bought a 41-CX (keyboard bliss).
