this corner isn't so happy

those rubber domes are for the index up and down keys, thankfully they're working fine

if i had to guess, they are probably linear spring switches (no tactile feel or click)

Israel bombed an orphanage last night, with military hardware paid for by the US and probably manufactured in the UK.

the first attempt wasn't a success.. however i managed to refill one of the pens with the black ink from those ballpoints!

You did back them up or move to a wiki, didn't you?
