It's not the greatest keyboard for typing, but the Logitech K400 is a decent modern alternative for such purposes. You'd need a USB-to-PS/2 adapter, though:

- neilv 3y agoA bit more compact, the IBM SK-8845 can still be gotten on eBay with native PS/2 interfaces (or USB, in some variants): http://www.ibmfiles.com/pages/sk88xx.htm http://www.ibmfiles.com/pages/sk88xx.htm The SK-88*4*5 are actually a little easier/cheaper to get than the later SK-88*5*5, maybe because the earlier model doesn't have Win95 keys. (The SK-8855 was also noteworthy for Lenovo soliciting user input in its design, before they seemed to go all-in on a consumer Mac-like aesthetic. Now, SK-8855 and earlier TrackPoint keyboards sell used for more than they cost new, even if dirty, since Lenovo isn't making them like that anymore. Even though were only ever lightweight laptop-like keyboards, not veritable battleships like some historical earlier IBM mechanical keyboards.)
