- I installed one of these in my STe last fall. You get a little baggie of some
- 94 or so replacement rubber caps. Needless to say, it's somewhat tedious to
- install. (Not to mention the 26-or-so screws that hold the keyboard itself
- together.) But aside from the tedium it isn't all that difficult, and does
- feel a bit better, i.e., it's definitely better than that totally mushy feel
- it had before.
