Perfectly good PC keyboards can be had for as little as  
 10.00 to 15.00 in discount outlets and office supply stores.

I have an extra one if you need it. 'Course you’ll have to come pick it up. Did I mention that I’m in Hawaii? 🙂

Do one of two things.

(1)Open up the keyboard and carefully clean it with windex and let it dry thoroughly before using it. That means cleaning all of those annoying little rubber nipples found under each key also. (Unplug it first!!)

(2)Go down to the nearest Salvation Army or used goods store and buy a keyboard for $5 or $10 bucks that works.
