Keybounce was a periodic problem with my first system under Level II.
It came back every time I turned the machine over and dumped out the
month or two worth of cigarette ashes that had accumulated, lasted
maybe a week until I'd dropped enough more inside.

Checked out a Pet with the original tiny rectangle keyboard before I
went with the TRS-80. Yuck. Turned me off the Pet (and anything else
with a 6502) to this very day (and the Atari 400 keyboard didn't help
much either).
