My USB keyboard for IMac OS 10.4 bought in 2005 has a few keys that don't work. Is there a replacement or a fix for this?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Keyboard
If you figure it out let me know!
That is 10 years old, it is time for a new keyboard…

the link was for a keyboard for OS 10.6 and later. Isn't my 10.4 earlier? This is my problem. What can I buy? Go to EBay, Amazon, suggestions?
It's a USB keyboard it should be fine. I have a similar model that works on 10.5.
If it doesn't work you can almost certainly return it (local sales laws apply, so check those).
You could also go to an Apple Store (or any other PC store) & ask them if it could work & ask if it doesn't work can it be returned?
You can search Ebay or Amazon etc for a keyboard that says it supports 10.4, however since that OS is also 10 years old not many manufactures are willing to test an ancient OS that not many people use anymore.
Another option is to find a second hand keyboard from the same era of Mac. Frankly that would be 'icky if it has been used.
Alternately you could try fixing or cleaning yours, but these things don't last forever.
Keyboards & mice generally work.
