Dmitry> Out of curiosity, who is the vendor and what is model no? I was going for cheap. I found a Belkin keyboard at the local shop for $28 Cdn. I don't remember a model number on it, but other than having both USB and ps/2 connectors, it was a fairly normal keyboard. Actually... it sucks in one way. I'm a fairly quick touch typist, but I've never trained on an underwood. This belkin seems to simulate the underwood in that if you arn't careful enough to raise your fingers off a key before pressing the next, you get extra characters on the screen.
