This is the thin, low profile, full width, aluminum, $50 keyboard, which
I love. The keys that failed are all in a row and failed the same day,
suggesting to me that the failure is electronic rather than a physical
problem with individual keys. There has not been any foreign material
near this keyboard. I even cover it when I'm not using it to keep the
dust off. But I'll pop keys off and tinker with them.
Regarding your Logitech keyboard:
Logitech has a new Control Center program that provides more settings
for my Logitech mouse. You might check it out.
Thanks for taking time off from your busy discussion with the rationally
impaired.

Have you tried popping off the keys to see what the problem might
be? In the past I've found that keyboard malfunctions have been
physical problems and not computer/circuit board problems. Notice the
pattern? Did you spill something on your computer?
I haven't checked recently, and don't know the model of your iMac,
but Apple keyboards usually go for about $110. I stopped buying them
and am happy with my wireless logitech which cost $35? I can't
remember for sure. It's got several buttons that don't work on the Mac
because they seem proprietary to software that needs Windows. But
those are music and DVD buttons off to the side. It also has a rotate
and zoom button that don't work with anything I've got on the Mac either.
However, for me, it's the most comfortable keyboard I've ever
used. It has a sloping palm rest and allows the hands to feel very
lazy(?) on the keyboard.
I hate my short keyboard that came with my latest 24" iMac. I
plugged it into my clam shell iBook and use it there. Allows me close
reach without being right on top of the iBook.
