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.

I definitely concur there.
