  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  I guess we all have different expectations for $12.95
                     I like the way they make my keyboard feel.

  I personally have not had this problem.  My keyboard works just fine
with them installed.  Granted, I did hear some 'springy type noises'
after I first installed them, but after removing the offending keycap
and reinstalling the spring with the big end up instead of down, they made
no more noise.  Maybe there are different suppliers of keyboards, just as
there were different disk drive suppliers.  My ST is about 2.5 years old.

Summary:  I felt the $12.95 investment was worth the money for the results.
          If someone is as feed-up with spongy keys as I was, you will
          try anything!  Anyway, if you too are tired of your keyboard, 
          it may be worth a try!
