Re: Keyboards with keycaps which are the same shape

Hi,

Thanks a lot. More than a year ago I signed up with this group and periodically check it out. I couldn't find, at that time, a hard wired keyboard to my liking and price. But everybody DID give me a lot of good input. My old Dvorak had gone on the fritz. You apparently DID find them. So I took your three keyboards and did a Google search (up to this point in time I have been using XP's software configuration) and I purchased the one at: http://www.typocheck.co.uk/dvorak/buy.html  This is great! Just what I had been looking for a year ago. I've been typing DVORAK for ten years now. Totally forgotten Qwerty. Too bad for me if I find work where I need to use their PC. These years I'm homebound taking care of my Alzheimered  father. 

Thanks again.

 I'm new to this list, apologies if there's already a discussion about 
 this topic (if there is, could you point me to it, please?).
 
 I'm trying to source keyboards that have keycaps all the same shape, 
 for conversion, primarily to Dvorak (I've started recently to sell 
 these, with some small success so far) but obviously such keyboards 
 will be of interest to anyone who wishes to try an alternative layout.
 
 I have so far found just three keyboards that are reasonably priced 
 and fit the bill. These are, in order of my personal preference of 
 quality:
 
 1. Logitech Y-SU61 Deluxe 
 2. Tesco 'Value' keyboard
 3. Colorsit KB-1807 
 
 (#1 and #3 are available through my 'Broadband for your Fingers' 
 eBid.net store at http://uk.four.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?mo=user-
 store&title=Broadband-for-your-Fingers - the Tesco one costs just 
 £4.45 from - surprisingly - Tescos).
 
 These are all PS/2 models (which possibly explains why such keyboards 
 have become so inexpensive in recent months?). I have been trying to 
 find some USB equivalents, even though these are likely to be more 
 costly. 
 
 Does anyone here know of any such keyboards, PS/2 or USB?
