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.

“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

I definitely concur there.
