Ooops. I'd better watch the KBDmania jokes now.

OK, here's another option if you are USA.

Ebay untested and uncleaned. In other words typical Ebay besides being described as "leet". Lots of soldering.

I am in the USA. I saw that one last night, but I cant get any new keyboards right now. Ill need to sell something. Probably a G80. Thanks for your help though. So you think that my focus is just too old? It sucks it doesn't work because it has my favorite feel. I actually bought a model m to take the place of the focus but don't like it as much.

I still blame the DIP switch settings. But I ALWAYS blame the DIP switch settings.

I just dethroned the model m and replaced it with focus #2. It was $2 at goodwill and looks brand new. It seems to have a problem with inputting multiple letters for a single keystroke on certain keys though. It has this piece of paper that says 'word perfect for IBM personal computers'' taped to the top. Ill post pictures later.

If I was you, I'd get out a soldering iron and swap the Blue Switches into the working keyboard. Might take some time, but would result in an excellent keyboard.

I was thinking that. I would have to go out and buy one, I don't own one.
