I think that Apollo keyboards in general are poorly engineered. I
hadn't run into a keyboard with contact bounce for YEARS--until I
recently started using a low profile DN300 keyboard. I hadn't SEEN
a keyboard using the archaic REPEAT key--until I started using an
Apollo. The 3000 doesn't seem to have corrected the latter problem.
I haven't used the 3000 enough to notice whether the contact bounce
has been fixed.
I know I'm biased, and the caps lock thing is surely a pain, but your
message seems way overdrawn. I've used a LOT of keyboards in my life
-- including the current ones of our competitors -- and if anything,
I'd say the later DN300 keyboards (the ones that have a bit of click-feel
to them) and the DN3000 keyboards are at least as good, if not better
than all those others. I've NEVER had a bounce problem with one of these
keyboards. Perhaps yours is simply defective.
If you want to see a really bad keyboard, look at the ones that came
with the DN400s.
