Yeah. I've got one of those. I use the Microsoft shaped keyboard. Bought one of
the first ones out for a total of just a shade under 100 bucks. When it started
getting a little iffy, I went looking and found a similar keyboard...or so I
was told. That was about 30 bucks. At this point, I'm using the old keyboard,
cleaning it often, even though the keys still stick enough to screw up my
typing.

Greed is not a component, nor is a desire to save money on important
components. I'd GLADLY pay the same for another keyboard like this one. Even a
bit more. Forget it. They no longer exist and probably haven't for several
years.
