130xe keyboard springs or no?

[SINGLE TOOTH]

Is there a way to tell if your 130xe keyboard has springs I side without taking it all apart? I looked at Best Electronics site and they say they have rubber some replacements for xe's without springs so the keyboard doesn't feel like slop.

Without looking, of course no way to know for sure. But the springs are aftermarket. The stock rubber dome is all the "spring" you get from that factory. There were/are aftermarket little springs designed to fit under each key, to alleviate the mushy feel of the stock XE (and ST) keyboard.

Thanks. Best Electronics made it sound like they were a different revision keyboard like how the 800XL has 4-5 variants.

I was also spending the morning working on those on some new computers I got. I could only get one working right, but it's super sensitive. Just resting your hands on the keyboard darn near presses the key.
