Does anyone have any helpfull information on keyboards for the ZX81? I would like to (a) avoid soldering, as I am not very confident of my soldering skills, and (b) save as much money as possible. Two prime candidates I would like more information on: Filesixty Ltd. stick-on keyboard. 'Full travel calculator- type moving keyboard.' You stick it on the membrane, and that's it. Is it a ridiculous waste of $19.50, or does it really help? Mapsoft ZX81 keyboard, from Ramex Int'l. 'Full size - full stroke. 15x6x3 case, 43 key with 2 color legends, simple plug-in installation, keys for function, graphics, and shift lock, wide shift, enter, print, and space keys. $60+$5 s&h. Any good? Or does it fall apart if you touch it? Any helpfull information is appreciated. Thanx, Will D. ...sdcsvax!sdchema!will
