Here's one I picked up a while back.

POS keyboards tend to really well built, sometimes colourful, often filthy. Best of all, they aren't exactly sought after on ebay, so bargains can be had...

Anyone else like to share?

The best part about that keyboard is the credit card swiping slot along the top

If only you could get it to work to pay for on-line goods while sitting at home at your computer

that would be a great idea for a family machine, make the kids keep track of their computer key card or they can't play!
sorry, gotta clean your room and find your key card if you want to play on the computer! hahahaha

The credit card's magnetic stripe stores the credit card number, expiration date and CVC number.

Once you have reverse-engineered the card reader, it would be easy to just make it emit the credit card number.
Making it fill in the different fields on the web form automatically would be a bit more difficult...

You could perhaps have an application in the background that detects card swipes and pops up a window with the fields; then allowing you to drag and drop the different numbers from that window to the relevant text fields.

Cherry G80-8200 does that as a standard feature. I used mine to enter passwords and log into things by swiping a card there for a while when I used that board.

That one I didn't know... Not one I've heard over here. Live and learn, I suppose.

That particular POS board I've never seen. That one I do like but the main thing I like a lot about them is the fact that some of have MX Clears.

I've rounded up over 300 MX Clears thanks to POS keyboards.

I could check. I used it to read some other cards I had for passowrds and such. Modern credit cards rely more on the chips than the magnetic stripe though, at least in EU. The magnetic stripe should output something, at the very least a string of a certain length.

Lol, I stumbled upon it while this thread was up on the other screen. I linked it without even reading the title, sorry.
