The Poly AT is nice, but the sensitivity is waaaay different from the AN1x I checked the manual to adjust the key sensitivity to my liking and find it works best if you apply pressure closer to the key mechanism.

Opened the case yesterday to remove a 'loose screw' and found it was actually a small, phillips head computer tool left in the case! Geez. Think I'm going to order the 4.10 EEPROM from Rt66 and OD Disk to upgrade from the installed 3.00 EEPROM.

Still on the fence whether this is a keeper or not...
