OK, I'll add to the list - any keyboard (well, anything electronic) made by
BTC Taiwan (
www.btc.com.tw). "Quality control? Wossat then?". They've
managed
to produce keyboards that look like normal PC keyboards, but feel like the
old dead-flesh Sinclair keyboards when you type on them...
Just for extra points, they've also built DVD and CD-RW drives that had weak
lasers, causing rewrite operations to fail rather spectacularly. From what
I've heard, one dealer had a 3ft stack of drives, all with the same fault,
namely "no rewrite functionality"...
Later.
