cheapest blank keyboards?
« on: Fri, 30 March 2012, 01:49:45 »
Looking to get a cheap blank keyboard for work, It doesnt have to have any bells or whistles or even be mechanical. I just want the cheapest ones available.

when i started googling all i found were stickers to cover up legends on a keyboard, but i want an actual keyboard though.

$10 keyboard + $1 can of spray paint = blank keyboard.

Sorry... I couldn't help myself.  
There may not be one.  Even the cheapest keyboards have legends.  Blank keys are more of an "enthusiast" thing to have.  If you really want to do this on a budget, you're going to need to mod.

You might be best off trying to find a cheap used Cherry MX board on ebay or perhaps the classifieds here, and then getting blank keycaps separately. The Cherry Corp boards in particular can be found for fairly cheap, but you probably want to make sure that what you get would be compatible with a standard set of MX keycaps.

Get a normal keyboard, then use a razor to clear out all legends on keycaps.

this only works if they're printed,, you can't razor out the etchings very easily,

I think that I have seen another one that was black with a "big-ass" Enter key, and it was even cheaper.
