   You have my sympathy.   
      
   My last working no-windoze-keys keyboard had the habit to randomly do no   
   or double 's'. I finally caved in a few weeks ago and asked an   
   aquaintance who'd offered to give me an old keyboard (with windoze keys)   
   to lend it to me to test how bad they interfere.   
      
   Works out well enough, though I'm contemplating asking a friend how to   
   disable the windoze keys.   
      
   I am planning to get a new one one of these days that is closer to what   
   I'd like to have to type (low, highly sensitive, no noise keys,   
   preferably with a build that lets no liquid or other things inside).   
      
   Are simple keyboards that expensive these days though, that you can't   
   get a new one? Or are you used to your paticular one and can't get a   
   same-make one easily or at all? Belated thought: Is it a laptop?
