Decent deal on black (dark gray) USB keyboard for $4.75 + shipping...

There is an HP Vectra 100 Watt Power Supply for only 2.90!!!! That is rediculously cheap, it is worth it jsut for the fan and the fangard that is in it. you could also power your fans with it, and cut it up to get some free cables, and if you know what do do with one, a big ass transformer.

I think I got the last 3 keyboards. Tried to get 4 of 'em but it would only allow me to get 3...I wonder if they'll get more in. Thanks for the great deal!

I hate when things I want go out of stock. Nuts!

kingink: it comes with the regular usb connector so you can plug it in, don't need any other cable, though seems like the deal is done.

I missed out on this, but supposedly any USB keyboard will work with the playstation 2 when the modem/hd for it comes out. Might want to save one for that, since it's black and will probably match. Hopefully some FPS games will come out that will use a kb/mouse combo

It's back in stock! Picked up 2 keyboards and the cheap USB Hub. Total was around $27 with the 10% discount (shipping was $6). Thanks! - this is my first post but this forum has saved me a lot of money.

acebathound,
LOL bro, its not the keyboard that sets the "typmatic rate setting". It is the bios and the OS (probably Win9x Im guessing your running) that sets it. I'm sure that you can find these settings now that you know where to look.

Anybody wanna report back on how they like the KB? I am thinking about buying it since my other option was a $49 IBM USB keyboard, and at 10% of the price this deal is hard to pass up. What I'm wondering is how well built is this thing? Do the keys clack on every keystroke? IBM "Preferred" keyboards just seem to have a great feel & response, but they're so darn expensive. Thanks for any info...

Does this USB keyboard work in DOS...if I use a boot disk will I be able to use the options.

Whether or not it works in DOS REALLY depends on your motherboard. Most motherboards with USB ports have an option in the BIOS to have USB Keyboards controlled via BIOS or the OS. It's funny, I have a macintosh keyboard, monitor, and mouse setup at one of the PC kiosks here at my workplace.

It's pretty good quality, and yes, it's quiet.

I took the plunge and purchased four of them, although they did raise the shipping to $8.00 for my order. I also purchased a modem and used the 10% off I hope these things are decent. Awesome price!

you can change the repeat speed and delay in control panel you know.

I saw these (again) at the TRW swap meet this weekend for $5 total, but didn't buy any cause I already have 2 extra keyboards. Anyway, the keys seemed to be pretty decent, didn't really try them extensively though.
