Have now had four keyboards provided under warranty; all have same defect, usually identifiable as reacting to adjacent key(s), including space bar. I am not a touchtypist and usually use two fingers, but never had this problem with previous iMac. This MUST be impacting other users of new iMac.How can I get an old style keyboard, or better membrane? And how do I connect it to 4 port iMac?

Can't say it has happened to me and yours is the first report I've seen. As noted, there are numerous compatible third-party keyboards from Logitech, Satechi, MacAlly, Matias, etc.

you don't need to get apple made keyboard, pretty much all should work both bluetooth and usb ones
if your mast question is how to connect a keyboard with usb-a connector to your newer usb-c imac only then you can use an adaptor
You're welcome. So far I haven't had an issue with the keyboard that came with my M3 iMac which I bought Nov 2023.

In case some of those problems may have been settings issues instead of hardware, here is a note about things to check

Thanks. I find it amazing that no-one else has had this trouble with the new, thin, keyboards - it is pretty obviously a question of the membrane under the keys - exacerbated, of course, by my poor typing technique.
Could the following article possibly be of interest?
