A manual typewriter keyboard which is what your friend was typing on and a computer keyboard are very much different in one respect at least. The touch for a computer keyboard is far lighter than for a manual typewriter. I know, I used both and when I go to use my manual typewriter I have to do some practice sentences to adjust my touch to the manual typewriter. Even so, I'm not giving up my manual typewriter since I can write with that without electricity if necessary.
