   Model 4D keyboard

   Hi,   
      
   I finally got a 4D keyboard for my 4D (the kind with the backspace key)   
   but the reset button is missing.  The plunger (or whatever it's called)   
   for reset works but the orange piece isn't there.  The reset button on   
   my old keyboard (Mod 4 type with clustered arrow keys) is of a different   
   design with respect to how the button mounts on the plunger. The 4D   
   keyboard plunger is a small hollow square in the center whereas the   
   other one appears to be some 4 pronged do-hickey. I was wondering if   
   anyone out there had a spare orange reset button for the 4D keyboard I   
   could have?   
      
   Also, how does one go about lubricating the keys. The keys on my "new"   
   keyboard bind a bit when press. Feels like plastic rubbing against   
   plasting.  The binding isn't there if you press the keys from a perfect   
   vertical position, but if your fingers are on any kind of angle they   
   bind a bit. So I guess what I'm asking is what kind of lubricant should   
   I use?   
      
   Regards,
