My mother bought me a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 last year for Christmas. She has passed away this last September. This keyboard which now has incredibly immense sentimental value to me now has its, well the key between the Z and the C keys fail. I'm beside myself pissed about this. There is no reason this $50 keyboards key should fail within a year. I've had far cheaper keyboards for YEARS and none of the keys have failed. I've of course taken the key our and checked it for crap. Its clean. I've even pressed down on the little plastic plunger down in there with no response. Rebooted PC, etc. Tried the key with different programs. It seems to be a total key failure.

I am furious and just wanted to vent.
