Mel.....run to one of the office supply stores or Best Buy and pick you out a new keyboard. The max it should cost you is 35.00 and you can sometimes get them as low as 10 to 15. Get one you like that way. Manufactures are trying to cut the price of computers so much that they do not use the good keyboards, speakers or mice.
When I sell a computer I tell the people what I give them, it is a pack of three, speakers, keyboard and mouse, my cost $11.00. They will get you by but they are nothing special. I encourge everyone to go buy the ones they like and I will knock 20 off the price of my system.
