Keyboards die.  Do yourself a favor, Rudy, and just buy another one. 
If it's that tired that the keys are failing, it should probably just 
be replaced.

Try a bunch at the store and pick the one that feels best under your 
fingers. MS keyboards are usually pretty good - or at least they 
were. OEM Dell keyboards suck, IMO. OEM apple keyboards feel pretty 
good, but the one I got with my G3 didn't feel so good to use - it 
made my wrists hurt, but the finger action was great.

Everyone has different tastes though - find one that you like. It's 
the primary interface to your computer - it makes sense that it 
should feel good to you. Besides - they may not be as cheap as RAM 
right now, but they sure aren't expensive!
