Yep.  We had the *exact* same problem on our Mac II at the Personal
Computer Center here. (extended keyboard).  Apparently Apple is shipping
some faulty keyboards.  When we shook the keyboard we heard something
rattle inside.  We sent it over to the repair shop here and it is happy now.
Anyone else have something similar?
