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...

But why would you wanna get a USB keyboard just to plug it into your PS/2 port? I'm sure that's not what you meant.. But I felt like ribbin' ya..

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.
