HP Keyboard from somewhere in the 90ies

Today I want to  compare my both favorite keyboards, an IMB Model M from 1985 and an Hewlet Packard keyboard C1405A from the 90ies. Both keyboards have a good  typing sound, a good feedback, both are very heavy wighted,  but I don't want to lose too many words, see yourself, which is the better one. Next I give you two text examples, on typed on the IBM Model M and the other on the HP C1405A.  I have marked them both in different colors, so you can better distinguish them.

This is typed on the IBM Model M keyboard:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

And this is typed on the HP C1405A keyboard:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Do you see the difference?
