I'm lookin at getting a new keyboard, and I want a usb one so I can hook it up to my PS2! I want a decent one but I'm also not real high on money... So yea and I don't even know where to start ... there's soo many kinds. I know they rn't real expensive but I just wasn't sure if some were better rated than others etc

well that's what I was looking at but it just so happens that logitech has this crazy little scheme where they make more than one keyboard...

ya id stick with logitech too, but for the most part a kb is a kb, lol. main thing i look for, is comfort, i hate those ergo designed ones (natural kb i think??), or ones with soft keys. i used to have an ibm one with butter for keys, till i swapped with the parents ;)

but ya, comfort i'd say.

I got a cheap logitech (about $14 at office depot?) and I didn't like it. Should have taken it back the day I got it but it took me a while to realize that I just didn't like how it felt when I typed. The keys were just "flimsy" and <i>very</i> sensitive... ...as in, I could be pressing down on the key in a game and ever so slightly release some pressure (not even letting up on it fully) and it would act like I let go of the key. This would screw me up in BF where if I were flying, then out of nowhere I would hear my engine come to a stop :(

I replaced it with a $20 Microsoft one. Keys feel much more responsive and only take a tad more effort to push them down, which I actually like better. PS/2 though, so the best thing to do is just like all these other peple have said, go to a store and try a couple out. Feel what they like and see which one fits you best.
