there i fixed it: matias tactile pro

One of my keyboards at home is a very clickety (model M style, too clickety for the office) "matias tactile pro". Here is the vendor blurb.

While the typing is great, the plastic shell didn't stand the test of time. It got brittle very quickly, internal clips broke off, and the top and bottom case parts became completely seperated at the front. Occasionally, the the "return" key got stuck with the raised shell and went auto-repeat.

"All the world's problems can be fixed with either gaffa tape or WD40", they say. For the past five years, I used clear adhesive tape but its stickyness is limited, too. Time for some quick renewal:

We will see whether this will do the job for the next five days or five years. At least Piet should approve the solution:

adhesive tails
