As good or better than the 41 series keypads.

i like the feel of the 33s keypad once you get past the layout i wish they made the stack a little bigger maybe six deep.

Hi René,
The keypad is more than worth it for the money. In the states, we can buy them, with shipping, for $53.00 (and there is a rebate of $10 too but I don't know about that in Europe). It has a good click and I have not had any missed keystrokes.
I would not say it is as good or better tan the 41 though. The keys are larger, and the foot pads are compliant rubber stilts, and so it feels different than a 41c on a talbetop.
However, I would agree that from a practical standpoint the key action is equivalent to the 41C in the most important ways.....but for nostalgia's sake it is hard to say it is better than the 41c---almost heretical to allow such a thought! ;>)
regards,
Bill

The key click feel is very good. My only complaint (besides the very small decimal point) is that the lettering for the alpha characters (A...Z) is black in color which makes it difficult to pick out from the other lettering. Perhaps they should have used yellow or other distinctive color.
