I have not liked type 3s ever since I had three of them with keys go bad
on me in a very short amount of time.  Personally I find myself
wishing for a type 2 that I could make work!  now, THOSE rocked.

[actually, a 3 might not be bad, but as I don't use a head on my SS,
it'd be useless unless I could do a PS2 conversion on it...]

I don't like the 4s so much anymore.  They're too crowded and just don't
feel right to me.  The 3s had more real estate.  But the 2s -- man,
clicketyclicketyclickety!  GREAT positive feedback devices!
