Several people have suggested moving the BREAK key away from the main
keyboard.  This is really unnecessary if you vary the spring stiffness of
the different keys.  The keyboard I regularly use has (I think) 15 lb.
springs for most keys and a 40 lb. spring for the break key.  With this
approach, even if you accidentally hit the BREAK key, you are not likely to
hit it hard enough to activate it.
