My laptop’s keyboard has begun having issues in the last few months. I think one of the keys has a broken spring and it’s interfering with a half dozen others. Replacing the keyboard on this particular model involves stripping it to the chassis, which I prefer not to do.

Since the computer lives in my backpack and goes to class while teaching (I prefer my own device rather than the uni-issued 10-year-old laptop), I’m thinking of picking up a small portable keyboard to use when the builtin acts up. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a good model?

    Yup—I have rechargeable batteries too! But they last so long I forget about them, and then never have replacements at hand when I need them… like, in the middle of a class! I’m better about plugging in to USB periodically than I am about carrying spare batteries. Personal preference.

      LOL! I hear you. Same here. I try to keep a few spare alkalines in my desk drawer because I’m awful about knowing when I’ll need replacements.
