    Hi all,

    how comparable is the E6400 keyboard and trackpad with SXPS (eg. 13") ?
    I just can't find any E6400 to play with whereas the Dell Kiosk has both SXPS on display.

    Thanks

    In my opinion this keyboard is fantastic. Little noise and great travel, and feels durable too.

    I haven't actually tried the SXPS 13 keyboard, but I already don't like it due to some of the abnormal key locations. It's a similar layout to that of the Inspiron 1420 which I have tried and my biggest qualm with this layout is how the shift key has been moved to left such that I always hit the up arrow key instead.

    I'd venture the actual tactile response is similar to that of the E6400 though. It's a different keyboard, but the mechanisms under the keys are probably similar.

    I have the e6400 and my friend a studio xps 13, i think that the keyboard on the studio give a much more quality impression than the one on e6400.
