I am killing them due to diabetic neuropathy, specifically, I have a hard time 
controlling how hard I hit a key
as I caanot feel how hard I am hitting keys.  With a mechanical keyboard, I 
can hear the click and know.  I
learned to type on a computer using a Model M and I am used to their "feel".  
I also know that I can beat on a
Model M and it can take it!

I learned how to type on an IBM Selectric typewriter as computers were not in 
public schools as of yet.

Unfortunately, my hands are worsening but I am trying to relearn to type.  I 
was a touch typist for many years
and now I just beat the hell out of keyboards...
