I acquired a Model M keyboard, from 1998. Still one of those with buckling springs, model 1391403. It works well, EXCEPT for the backspace key. It feels very mushy and does not jump back quickly. I wonder why that is. Is the spring worn out?
Any ideas on how to fix that?
EDIT: I just put the keycap of the accent key right next to it in there, and it depresses just fine. So I guess it must have something to do with that green guide thingy.
