the keyboard on the laser is terrible! not much better
than an atari 400. i've
got two, one with a bad keybounce problem. anyone know of a way to fix it?
Common problem... mine responded well to disassembly and cleaning.
IIRC, the Laser keyboard is the type where each plugner has a little piece of
foil on the bottom. The circuit board has little half-circles which are
bridged with each keypress.
On mine, I opened the case (blooddy pain) and disconencted the keyboard. On
the bottom of the keyboard were a lot of tiny screws. Removing them allowed
access to the circuit board which I cleaned with contact cleaner.
Works very well since then.
