Two questions: 1). Does it have a "positive click", like IBM keyboards? 2). How do my fingers sense when I am going from PC mode to real terminal?

Its highly configurable under Client Access. IMHO, its the *best* keyboard for 5250 emulation that I've ever used. It also holds up well to those of us who like to pound things :) I even bought one for home use.....
