Hi I have a left shift key that is sticky. I've tried the 'wiggle the post solution' several times with no luck. It grabs when I push on the right side of the key..

I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy an Omnikey from Northgate Bob but I'm trying to decide on which one out of three gen 2's to get. There's a 102, a 101 I and a 101 N. I think the N has that weird nav cluster so that wouldn't be my first choice. The N and possibly the I have a plastic rear cover, whic...
