Or actually they used some kind of conductive paint, on clear mylar (?)
plastic. I'd bought two of these at one time, and used the heck out of one,
left the other sitting in the box in the closet, but they both deteriorated
at about the same rate it seemed.

I've also done a few keyboard repairs on
c64s, mostly to deal with
broken keys, which usually involved a pretty complete disassembly and
replacing the broken part, but I don't recall ever taking apart an sx64
keyboard...
I have - unsuccessfully. I have a keyboard with some bad traces
(someone before me tried ti "fix" it and made a mess - I think they
used silver modelling paint on the traces. :-P )
