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.
