On the 128ex/2 you can but I don't think you can on the 128ex. Still
you can always try setting the speed in the control panel and see if
it sticks. Access the control panel by holding down the p at power up.

qwerty or davorak keyboard I believe though they may have offered other
alternative keyboards.

Don't know but from what I recall the keyboard connector suggested it's
more likely akin to the IIe or IIc keyboard
