Welcome Derek,
You've come to the right place! (I've got a Personal Communicator in my collection as well)
The keys on the Microbees do have a certain reputation and there's guides to fixing them hosted on this very site: http://www.microbeetechnology.com.au/dow...itches.pdf
As for software, request access to the Repository and have a look around and I'm sure you'll find what you want. I've had a lot of success playing WAV file recordings of Microbee software back from an old Android phone directly into my Microbee.
There are a lot of upgrades and repairs out there. As someone only a little bit further in my journey, may I suggest that the "Microbee Hardware Notebook with Updates" in the repository is an excellent source of what updates and fixes you should be doing to your 'bee. After that, there's some really interesting things you can do. Adding a joystick port is an easy but useful mod, but people here have gone the whole hog and done some amazing things to their systems.
Cheers, and welcome!
Chesh
