[rescue] SGI PS/2 keyboards

[Kevin]

There is  one generation of granite SGI keyboards after
the slabs that was decent, or at least they were in my
opinion.  The one that came with my Octane was granite
but much smaller than the slabs and it was nice to use,
not nearly as mushy and generally crappy as the
charcoal ones are.

It had two stuck keys (previous owner was messy)
however so i tossed it into the dishwasher.  It
helped but one key still stuck so i replaced it with a
slab.
