I wasn't with them at that time....I was there in '93. A good friend of
mine, who was in Tech Support with me, was there for several additional
years and mentioned that they had a lot of trouble with their wireless
stuff. Too bad as they used to make great keyboards before many bad business
decisions.

Keytronic long since in the trash, it was their IR wireless stuff that
they claimed to have stopped making in like '98.
Why $200, no reason in particular. It was the latest Logitech unit, blue
tooth, etc... and I had $180 to spend thinking it was a great unit. It sat
a year after initial testing and I did not return it to Logitech fast
enough (an ebay purchase, not returnable to vendor).
Recently I pulled it out in frustration to replace the MX that is lying
here semi-functional on my server. The original complaint was securing it,
required pairing with a computer. Switch with a USB switch, re-pair again
unlike the non-bluetooth MX stuff which stayed secure & working. Now I can
add lame ass membrane to the list of complaints.

I still have an old Keytronic KB101-1 capacitance keyboard. It is the
finest keyboard I have ever used....bar none. None of the others are even
close. These new membrane boards are strictly throwaways and certainly
not worth wasting any repair time on. Are the two boards you have
physically damaged, e.g., case, keys, main logic board? If it's just
pressure domes and switches I may be able to help you. I was in Keytronic
Tech support for awhile and have a couple of bags of parts.....no keys
though.
BTW what was so special about a membrane(AKA non-repairable) to pay
$200.00?

3. 3 logitechs. One goes unsupported (pre-iTouch); On another,
eventually required an elephant typist after 2 years (membrane); A 1.5
year old MX that despite being totally disassembled & cleaned by hand,
never since worked right mechanically (key travel has stiction) even
though electrically the membrane works fine; Lastly a $200 DiNovo
abortion that seems to consistently miss the "A" & "CTRL" keys unless
hit just right (membrane).
