When you mentioned Remington and your military service, I had an old Royal I used through college. If you haven't tried a Model M, the keypress would click as it printed on the screen. With any other keyboard, I'm typing two letters at the same time or none. It gives you enough feedback not to print two letters if you're off a little. Forget imitations....

If someone is sleeping in the next room you might have an issue.

Even have youtube videos lol.....

Mentioned in the video, Unicomp got the patent and produces them today.

New ones look to be about 80, ebay has them for 20-40. I've gotten them at Goodwill for $5.

Most people use the computer for Online Bill payment. It is easier to type 192.83 using a keypad than the numbers above the QWERTY on your keyboard.
