mtbcThe BakkerElkhuizen keyboard from eBay had the D key not working. I shall return that and have won an auction for similar so we will see how my third attempt at a keyboard goes. The ailing Cherry keyboard that I brought home from work turned out to have screws hidden under a label so it was difficult to open until I discovered them. It also required two different kinds of screwdriver.
The pressurized gas cleaner was ineffective and Pippin our cat certainly did not like the noise it made. Disassembly and inspection of the Cherry keyboard did yield fruit: I seem to have fixed it by removing years of my accumulated facial hair and sloughed skin from underneath the lowest row of keys. The folks from Gattaca would have had a field day. I will take the keyboard back to work tomorrow morning to test-drive it properly. In my testing this afternoon I discovered that with multiple keyboards attached to a computer I can toggle all the caps lock lights by depressing any one of them.
