Keyboard problems


Bad news: the 'o' key on my keyboard has started acting up. Sometimes when I press it a second 'o' appears 2 or 3 characters after the first one. At other times I press it and the 'o' doesn't appear until 2 or 3 characters later. Very, very, very, annoying.


Here's a sample:

This paragraph is just randomo text but hopeofully when I look up from typing it you will see where all the extra o's have appeared. I need to type moroe woords with o's in them. Here are some more o words: bomb copper balloon crock crook rolloover zoo soap crd ooval oopal orogan oroganic odour orifice

Update: I've managed to fix it! All I did was pry the key off, clean out the crap that had accumulated underneath, and re-attach it. For one heart-stopping moment I thought I had snapped something off when I pried it out, but it seems to have re-attached without problem.
