It'd be more fun if you posted, and left us to guess which keys are non-functioning.

Now using my ipad with bluetooth keyboard. I suppose I will have to get a new laptop. I can’t seem to get anyone to tell me what a keyboard replacement would cost. Hard to communicate without G, H and “.

20-50 for an external.

[Mik]

The part, but I already had the back off this. Its beyond my skills.

Got the Bluetooth keyboard for $20.

Today's posts are brought to you by the letters G, H, " and left CTRL.

Which one? I'm interested in Bluetooth because my current wireless uses a USB sensor (Logitech), and when I move to a new Mac, I will have to be more mindful of USB-A devices, though I could get a hub.

This is a Microsoft refurb off Amazon. We have an Apple BT keyboard we have never used that turned up the other day. Can't quite remember how we got it. Would you like it?

[Mik]

Just texted you a pic of the box and the label so you can see if it will do.

Thanks! Let me think about it.

When I get the new Mac, I might just go with the included keyboard. The M1 Mac keyboards have the option of a fingerprint sensor which it a huge advantage over having to type/enter passwords. Also, I really want the numeric keypad on the side.

[Mik]

Yeah, I have the fingerprint thing on my Lenovo Yoga and love it usually. If you've been doing anything in the kitchen with moisture of any kind it doesn't work very well. But now I have it turned keyboard down so I can't use it.

Not just the kitchen. Or so I've heard.

BT keyboards are the shit. I often use one with my laptop just so I can decide how far away from the screen I want to be.
