Not sure where to get the battery, though, and the article doesn’t say. My googling didn’t come up with any, but didn’t put much time into it.
I did find a discussion on various issues related to the keyboard, including how to reset it. Might help:
Let us know how it turns out.

It hasn’t been dropped or mistreated - it just stopped working. Any idea what’s going on or how I can fix it?

I have an iMac with this configuration:
I also run?
I also have a MacBook Air with this configuration
More and more frequently when I backopen a NeoOffice docuement on the iMac it shows up like this:
I drag the document to the Preview up and while it doesn’t open in Preview it changes the document back to normal when I open it up in NeoOffice. It does it with spreadsheet documents, drawing documents, text documents and .doc documents.
On the MacBook Air it doesn’t happen. I should add the documents are stored in Dropbox. It doesn’t seem to do it with documents stored in iCloud.
Why does the happen and how do I prevent it from happening?
Thanks.

I’d much rather see a real URL with a real domain and a nice https in front of it.
That said, I’m sure that the SJAS one is probably fine. If it wasn’t you’d probably have heard about by now.

Re: Please explain this to me
Jonathan,
Thanks. I use TinyUrl but didn’t know there were others. I got the bitly from the C-J so it never crossed my mind to not trust it.
I appreciate your quick response.
