This is the most beautiful rubber dome board I've ever seen. There's no way I could pass it up for 3 dollars.

A GB for a star trek themed set would be nice.

I wonder why the keycaps are red in the picture but green out of the box

Hahaha cool, I was wondering what that was xD . Saw one on eBay the other day: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-Star-Trek-TNG-Computer-Keyboard-/220897388560?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item336e82a810

Does it type anywhere near nice?

) the stepped "1" key

IT's A KEYBOARD (eleventy-one and all that)

Not sure what's wrong with the "s" either.

I'm very glad that the box tells us what it is.

I love the look on the kid's face.

"Gee whiz, wow! Now I have a keyboard JUST LIKE... nobody on my favorite show uses."

That spacebar though!

GB anyone?

And yes, in 1987 we would ask the computer store guy "Is it IBM PC compatible?". Because some computers were 99%, 98%.

There's a photo of the switch. Can't really ID it.

I actually just put this board on Amazon. it's the cheapest listing. It comes with an AT to PS2 Adapter.

Oof. The pun on the space bar.

At least we know they got a good job making keyboards with Vortex later.

The one on the box is the evil universe version.

I am seconding a Star Trek themed keyset.

That's just brilliant.

Look into the Galaxy Class set, it is LCARS inspired.
