[SPARCbook] keyboard keystroke loss?

[Ken Hansen]

I've noticed that I need to pay attention to my keystrokes, but I think that
my problem may be due to the unusually deep travel (these days) these keys
have... Folks raised on mushy laptop keyboards are not used to pressing that
hard on a key...

There is the keyboard config tool - have you looked into that, it may
provide
some relief...

Just a thought,

Ken
