    Hey!

    I'm a proud M11x-owner for 5 months now. Yesterday, my mom used my laptop for a short while and now she's basically "in love" with the keyboard. However, she uses a desktop computer.
    Do you guys know of a regular keyboard that gives a similar experience like the keyboard on my M11x? It doesn't have to be backlit, or even look the same. As long as it feels the same when typing :)

    Thanks!

    Well yeah, but that's not really what I'm looking for. Especially since she's, you know, not a gamer :p And the price-tag is a bit high.
    It doesn't need to have the lights and all the functions of the Alienware keyboard, but it should have the concave keys and the nice press.

    I hope someone can help

    I think that tactx keyboard is your best bet.
    I mean, there is probably another keyboard out there like the one on the M11x, but it would be to dang hard to find it. Cause keyboard descriptions typically don't say how they "feel".

    This was probably the best thing I read all day. True story.
