| 226781 | 2004-04-02 23:25:00 | I have a PC Company computer and PC Company keyboard. Can I just buy any type of keyboard or does it have to compatible? How much is a cheap one? | starfish (3019) | ||
| 226782 | 2004-04-02 23:48:00 | I think a small spring either has gone missing or is broken. If it's still there, you can try salvaging the longer half, stretching it a bit to the length of the original and reattaching. Might pay to make a coil at one end similar to the other. For all the effort, you may have to get a new one as GF recommends. | Tom McB (832) | ||
| 226783 | 2004-04-02 23:55:00 | Any type of keyboard will be fine, as long as the plug is the same as the keyboard you have now . A cheap keyboard can be from around $20 to $40 depending on the "features" (ie buttons) that it has . Remember that "cheap" keyboards may not last as long as more expensive ones, particularly with high use . I have found that some of the letters on my $35 BTC keyboard are half worn away after 15 months' use whereas my Microsoft keyboard has no wear whatsoever on the letters after a good six years' thrashing . I would advise you to try out a few in the shop prior to purchase as they all feel quite different to each other and you may prefer one type of "feel" to another . |
