    Sometime back I solicited opinions on a new keyboard. I receive a number of recommendation for DAS brand and similar clicky style keyboards. I want to thank those who provided me inputs. Learned alot. In Summary My requirements: wired single USB cable to computer USB port on keyboard that supported wire mouse Goal: reduce a wired keyboard and mouse to single USB port on my computer Many recommended the DAS brand of keyboard with clicky keys. I tried Das Keyboard Model S Professional Wired Mechanical Keyboard, Cherry MX Brown Mechanical Switches, 2-Port USB Hub, Laser Etched Keycaps (104 Keys, Black) $117 Cable to computer supported both USB and PS2 (?) Very nice keyboard but mouse and/or key board did not work properly. went with Perixx PERIBOARD-220H US, Wired Compact USB Keyboard with 2 Hubs - Build-in Numeric Keypad - Black - US English Layout, (11506) $30 Keyboard was not as nice as DAS, but fulfilled my requirements. Since this was a small investment, I will feel comfortable upgrading in the future for the optimal keyboard.

          i would have chosen perixx Ergo[^] except i do not favor its macro implementation or its LEDs arrgnement . i will never understand why the LEDs are not made more prominent and _facing_ user instead of facing ceiling . unfortunately it does not come in pink or chartreuse . btw how anyone can tolerate those rectangular torture boxes i will never understand .

            "To each is own". I've tried the ergo-style and it doesn't work for me. I prefer the traditional rectangular keyboard.
