Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I just went through the peculiar hell of having my Ctrl key stick. I've installed my auxiliary backup keyboard, but is there any way to fix a membrane-based keyboard? I tried cleaning; taking the key out and putting it back; pushing the key many times; and elaborate swearing.
For ergonomic reasons, I prefer compact keyboards without the number pad on the right, because otherwise the angle of my hand to the mouse gives me RSI issues in my shoulder. All the ones I've tried have been at least moderately expensive and none of them has lasted very long.
