Greetings again, I've got a DataDesk 101 ADB for my IIx, and I'm really getting annoyed with the thing. It's under warranty, so I'd appreciate it if folks would tell me if this is standard behavior for this keyboard, or what: o The shift key doesn't seem to register sometimes, so I have to release it and hit it again. o The Command and Option keys really don't like to register together, so if you want to do something (like Cmd-Opt-m in Word 4.0, you have to press them one at a time). The only thing I can figure is that the design is totally braindead, or it scans the keys too slowly, or it's busted. o I'm also more than a little bit annoyed by the Option-on-one-side, command-on-the-other layout that they picked. I had the shift problems with my old DataDesk for my Plus, but the Cmd-Option thing is all-new. Do people who have these keyboards notice the same faults, or is mine broken? So, let's say I wanted to buy an Apple Extended keyboard (with a 1-year warranty!!!!!! :-)). Are there any macro software packages comparable to MasterStrokes in quality and funcionality (like, I want to map the function keys so that they DO something)? Thanks, --Mike

Has anybody had any experiences with the Keytronic ADB keyboard for the Macintosh? Mail me, and I'll summarize. Greg James greg@cpsc.ucalgary.ca
