I have been lurking around the forum for a few days looking in to building my self something in my car. As of right now its all on hold, for financial reasons and I want to do it right. But I came across this and could not pass it up and I had to show it to everyone. I also bought one and I should have it in a week or so.

Have a look at this keyboard:

why does it being old really matter how it performs? I have this for about 5 months now and love it. Although, i wished i bought at that price, i paid almost $100 for mine at CompUSA late june of last year.

I got it today and it works great, it just takes some time to get used to. Also if you press "Left Alt Left Shift FN Capslock" you can use the numpad keys to control the mouse pointer.
