MS Internet Keyboard/Internet Keyboard Pro, ca. 1998?
« on: Mon, 10 August 2015, 18:41:28 »
A couple questions:

1. Can anyone tell me the OEM of these boards?

2. Back when they were new, I bought an Internet Keyboard. Absolutely loved it. Felt and sounded great, as far as rubber domes go, but it was PS/2-only, and I did not have a decent converter in those days. Never installed the intellitype software or used the extra buttons. When I found out the Internet Keyboard Pro offered native USB, I picked one of those up for use on my Mac. But it didn't feel or sound the same. It was a lot mushier and the sound was not satisfying, so out it went, and I no longer have either board. Does anyone who has used both happen to have a similar opinion of these two boards, or did I just run into variable quality of rubber dome boards?

I really liked the Compaq "internet keyboards" of the early 2000s.
"The company [Taylor Farms] made two (2) million-dollar donations: $1 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, which supports Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, and $1 million for MAGA Inc, a super PAC that supports Trump.
The $1 million to MAGA Inc was made on March 25, 2025, just just six days after the FDA announced it was delaying the implementation of its “Food Traceability Rule” by 30 months."

I definitely concur there.
