Interesting you should mention keyboards -- with the old ones you could actually wash the things: dunk 'em repeatedly in clean water until you were happy with them. As long as you let them dry out completely before you plugged them back in, they were fine. Go figure. 
Can't do that with the new ones, of course the old ones didn't cost $9, either.  |
Correct me if I'm wrong on this but isn't the USB card that's more likely to fail a shorting than the keyboard itself?
