The I have two of those, but both of them already show wear; after just 4 years some keys, esp. "Shift", sometimes get stuck for a brief moment. IMHO the quality isn't anyway near those older Sun keyboards or the NCD keyboard I have at work, which is connected to a PC. That is almost the real thing (Sun Type 5?) and it works flawlessly for over 6 years (well, I had to remap most of the "special" keys, and the function keys don't work during boot, but who needs that with a real OS?). Unfortunately nobody seems to sell those anymore. Are there any other "real" (Unix/Sun type) keyboards that can be connected to a PC (without USB if possible)? [this is certainly off-topic for freebsd-current, would freebsd-hardware be better?]
