Slashdot | Widespread Keyboard Failures on OLPC's XO-1
by CypherGhost at 1:52 am EDT, Apr 21, 2008

I can't imagine the frustration of trying to learn a computer and having the keyboard malfunction, yet it appears that is what's happening with many of the One Laptop Per Child XO Laptops. Of course, it's still better than if Microsoft made them... then ALL they keys would crash :)

I have played with a friend's XO, and it is neat. The daylight readable screen is something else. The keyboard is too small for my hands, even though I have thin, articulate fingers. I would surely use an external keyboard with one anyway (or a Frog Pad).

Anyway, maybe they will get these glitches worked out before they Send me the laptop I ordered in November! :)

Good luck, third-world-villagers.
