Haven't purchased a "good" keyboard - all that's required is an average
keyboard that is capable of handling four keypresses at once without
"sticky" keys.

While my keyboard passes the test, it has one problem: dust buildup causes
it to malfunction (and thus require violently hitting the keyboard on the
desk to knock out the dirt.)

Very silly - considering how often the default keyset generally gets
changed.

At least it isn't as silly as those Z-Boards coming out...They're about $30
per game you want to play.
