I cleverly went and spilt tea over my Apple pro keyboard (about a year old with 2 usb ports) tonight and now the ctrl key is permanently on so i'm in the market for a new keyboard.
Is the new apple keyboard as good? Or should i try to find one of the older pro keyboards on ebay?

try rinsing the ctrl key with distilled water and trying it tomorrow. Worth another shot before you just go out and buy another.

Any USB keyboard would be just as good IMHO. The new white Apple ones get dirty too easily.
And for that money, I think you might be able to get a decent Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse?

I bought a new Apple Keyboard and one of the iSkin covers. No more spills or stains.

Read this thread and this one for advice about a better, but spendier, keyboard than Apple's.
