Zelda, I had your keyboard problem some time ago. I use the same keyboard that I have for the past 20+ years. Originally called a Northgate, it is marketed today as an
Avant Stellar. I have several that I have purchased over the years. It is built like a tank. It is easy to type on and very easy to use with the function keys on the left (where I like them better.) Along the top are 12 programmable keys that can be used for inserting text in programs or passwords if you want. It was expensive but over the years it has proven to be less expensive than the throwaway cheap keyboards.
