did you know? walmart sell new keyboards for $5.

Good job, OP.

If it keeps playing up, there's a paint you can get called "keypad fix". You clean the black bit of the dome, and paint it on, and it makes the dome work good as new.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be OP's keyboard now, would it?

Back in the day, PCs cost $1500, and no-one would spend that on a PC with a shitty keyboard.

Old PC keyboards just feel really nice. The build quality is really high, and the ergonomics just feel right.

i agree with you, and would even go as far as to say the keyboards that came with DEC's VT-220 terminal were the shit. but given the habits of most anons, even the best keyboard becomes a trap for skin flakes, particles of food, hair, dead insects and Zerglings.
