I believe it is typical. I bought a 41CX when it first came out, and a 10C not much later, and even with those two brand-new machines, the difference in keyboard feel was very noticeable, with the 10C keyboard requiring more force and having a less distinct click.

I forgot to mention that I've also got a 1986 USA 12C and a 1987 USA 11C, and those are considerably more clicky (though not as much as a 41).

I should measure my 42S too...
