I found this keyboard for like $3 and it’s perfect

I'm typing on the black Dell version of this right now.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Me too! I’d get a new mechanical keyboard but they start asking if I want red, brown, blue or beige switches and I’m like “I dunno what that is!”. Also they cost a tonne and my Dell came free with a tower PC.

Still has a windows key. Microsoft must have made some crazy OEM deal with keyboard manufacturers.

How do you connect it to your computer? I have a big old keyboard but it's from before there were PS2 ports so I don't know what to do with it.
My newest computer (custom mini-ITX with an AMD 5700X3D, 64 GB RAM, Radeon 9070XT, 4 TB NVME, etc.) is still compatible with the keyboard from my first computer (a Tandy 1000 RLX HD with an Intel 80286, 1 MB RAM, VGA graphics, 20 MB HDD). Manufactured three decades apart, but they both have PS/2 ports!
I still have that Tandy keyboard; I should dust it off and plug it in.

I have two of its older siblings. Both having an older design, one US layout with the bigass enter key and no winkeys, one HU ISO layout with winkeys.

L-shaped Enter key master race.

The early naughts were a little more aesthetic.

Parallel port ftw

Many/most of them can just use a DIN to PS/2 and then if needed a PS/2 to USB adapter. Unless you have one of the more exotic old connectors (SDL, ADB, etc), that is usually all it takes.
I have a few ADB-> USB adapters in a drawer somewhere if anyone needs one

I'm generally not a fan of the oversized Enter key, but this is beautiful and I'd use the hell out of it

Oh man. I've been looking for that for decades now. Too bad the backlash is in a dumb spot.

Not an apple fan but this is the only aesthetic tech should have. Transparent plastic everything. I yearned for the clamshell PowerBook g3 as a kid. Still do.

I got mine free, from a bunch of stuff our company IT was throwing out because it was too old. That was over a decade ago, and it’s still the best keyboard I’ve ever had.
