FWIW, Down the road there may also be unexpected cosmetic differences which
can also affect the "feel." If a silver plated key is scratched or the
plating begins to wear off, there isn't too much that can be done to restore
it other than re-plating. An unplated "nickel" key can be buffed back to its
original condition (minus a tiny amount of metal undetectable to the
player).
