Re. Model M itself - it's nice to be typing
on one; I've suffered a laptop
keyboard for far too long! My only criticism of it is that the right-hand
shift key seems to require fairly central pressing in order to work (i.e. I
can't just reach across from the cursor keys and tap the end) - does anyone
know if they changed this (i.e. added a metal travel-assist bar as with the
spacebar, keypad enter key etc.) on the later models?
Hmmm, the right shift on all my model M keyboards is just fine. But
they're all the 101-key models. Is yours perchance a 102-key
version?
Nope, it's a 101 - I expect it's just 20 years' worth of age! I'll try
Sridhar's suggestion and give it a light oiling with something.
(I'm typing next to the wife at the mo - I'm surprised she hasn't mentioned
about the noise yet :-)
