Thai Keyboard not necessarily better?

#1 Post by jsmit86 » Sat Jul 31, 2004 1:02 pm

I replaced my Chinese keyboard with the Thai keyboard today.
After doing so, the flex on the right side near the arrow keys is much better, but not totally fixed.

I also notice a different "feel" on this new keyboard. It seems the keys are firmer. On the original Chinese keyboard the keys felt like the had a bit more travel, and a more positive action.

I am going to shim the bottom of the keyboard anyway, since there is still a bit of flex. I'll use it for a week or so, and then decide if I should put the original one back in place.

IBM also did not send the return paperwork with this keyboard.

I had the same missing paperwork for the Sanyo battery, although I do have a call tag for the incorrect battery they sent (Ultrabay slim ... God knows WHY they sent me that.)

Did any other users have IBM not request to return the old keyboard?

I asked the IBM rep if I should return the old keyboard, and he said no.

I prefer the reduced key travel, but I suppose that's individual.

my thai one came with the dumb return stickers and stuff sigh

maybe i should try and complain about my sanyo battery's fit and see if they send me a return slip :twisted:



so is this stuff just within the 1st 30 days? or is it under warranty? (my t23;s KB is tottaly worn out)
