You're right! The keyboard _is_ a little odd. one thing you can do is:
1.) pop of all the keys. then
2.) get ahold of a sheet of foam rummber. something big enough to fit
in the recess of the keyboard, and thick enough to support the keys in
their resting positions but no so thick as to make a full depression
difficult. then you
3.) poke holes in the foam rubber where the little piston on each key
will travel.
boom! your golden!
