Re: Re: Keyboards with keycaps which are the same shape

You are right. You did not say it was hardwired. That was a false assumption when I saw it. And thank you - I am quite happy with this extra board. I'll be using it it the future.

 ... I beg to differ. Nowhere do I describe nor 'label' the 
 conversions I offer as hardwired keyboards; I would not dream of 
 doing such a thing, as that would be dishonest.

 was a misunderstanding. But that's okay, because when this one goes 
 out - I'll have an already correctly labeled keyboard. I still use my 
 two-labeled keyboard at the PC because sometimes friends come over 
 and I switch back for their sakes. I'm sorry for misinforming you all 
 and hopefully no one made the purchase before realizing it was not 
 hardwired.
