I had to learn a bit about keyboard switches when one of my shift
keys stopped working.  I was surprised and pleased to find that
the switches are identical to those found inside the surplus TI
keyboards that Radio Shack sells for $4.  This has to be one of
the more cost-effective Mac repairs, assuming you don't mind a
little soldering.  Note that this only applies to the original
Mac keyboard (and probably the plus too).
