so i was wondering whether the 50G also suffers from the same poor keyboard quality as the 35s.!!!

The 50g is also manufactured by Kinpo…

It's purely a question of design. To my fingers, the 35S feels OK but I don't use it often enough (I actually hate the thing, but that's purely subjective) to know how reliable it is.

The 50g's keyboard has been problem-free for me, and I have used it quite a bit. The action is a bit firmer than we've been used to with the 48GX and the Pioneers (those machines spoiled us rotten). It's not a sweet as anything made by HP, but it's perfectly acceptable IMO.
