I would like to address some of the problems I have been experiencing
with my CoCo 1 keyboard. I understand it was never considered
top-quality but if I can get to the point of having one character per
keypress I'll be happier. While there are no dead keys some require a
lot of pressure, some are sticky and some double-strike with ease.
I'd like to take it apart and clean it but I don't know much about this
keyboard: Are the keycaps removable? What is the mechanism for
recognizing a keypress? Is it capacitive, like the foil-pad keys on a
Kaypro? How far can I pull it apart? Is there anything to look out for?
Thanks for any information.
