many thanks to all that have replied regarging this issue- in the past i have taken the keybd completly apart, cleaned each key and contact, and even lubricated each key with some teflon-based lube.... however, about 2 years have passed, and it is back to its sticky self again.. i purchased a new keybd for it many moons ago... however, the keybd had a very odd smell to it! it was so strong in fact, that i gave it away-- as i coulnd't stand it! very strange... does anyone know if the mythic revision F keybds are really worth $70? would the quality approach the keybd on say... my powerbook G3? -- or would it be closer to the other keybds of that era -- say a PB 540..? thanks again-- dylan PS i have a duo dock I that i would be willing to give again for free +shipping if anyone is interested.
