The keys are just plain "loose and wiggly".  I type over 80 words a
minutes 
and because of the awkwardness of this kb, I have to  type very
sloooooowly! 
And even then I end up having to go back or repeat because the keys don't
go 
down right.  As I stated the kb is a cheapy and doesn't have a thing on it

to change anything.

I live in a small rural town and the closest bigger city has Staples and 
Office De****t.  Neither carries more than a couple of boards and they are 
too fancy and too expensive.

Just thought someone might use one which has a typewriter feel (nice and 
solid) and could give me a brand.
