Hi Fuzzmom,
Your keyboard is probably a Braille keyboard of some sort? So it is not
easily replaced?
* For sticky keys You could have a go at vacuuming the fur, crumbs, crud
and dustbunnies which collect under the buttons.
* Then spray lightly with some sort of lubricant/cleaner/release
agent/water displacer. We have Q20 here which seems to be ideal for this
purpose.
* Then vacuum again, and spray again, tilting and turning the keyboard
sideways and upside down, to try to get the lubricant up, inside to
where the plastic bits are binding.
Keyboards are quite robust. Mine I bought in 1999 and it is used quite a
lot. Amazing really. Some keyboard problems are repairable and some are
just not get-at-able. Keyboard can possibly be repaired or a new one
modified by replacing the buttons, but you would probably need to find an
enthusiast.
Yikes. $65 for a braile keyboard or $19 for a set of stickers that sounds
steep. How about peeling the existing stickers off and sticking then
onto a new keyboard? $10 or less.
Good Luck,
OK,
Tony
