Hey folks,

I have recently build myself two "new" retro PCs from old parts I had or got but not being able to play in total dark sucks ... I'm just too used to it now :)

So I need a PS2 Compatible Keyboard with Backlight and it seems this is harder to find then I thought, or perhaps I'm a few years too late. A few years ago I would have ordered a DECK LEGEND PS2 but it seems like they are not sold anywhere right now :(

I managed to get a Qpad MK 80 (aka Asus Echelon or TG3 something...) and this works with the old PCs (486DX33 and Pentium 100) but it has blue Light and you need to plug in a USB Cable in addition to the PS2 connector for the lights to work, oh and I have not managed to find a US Layout Version with either Red or Black switches.

So what I would love to buy would be a Keyboard:
PS2 compatible (adapter is fine as long as it supports PS2)
Backlight NOT blue
US Layout
FULL Keyboard WITH Numblock (105 or 108 Keys right?)
shipment to Europe (Germany) possible

it does NOT need to be mechanical, can also be cheap I dont care so much, just backlight and US Version is important (German Layout in real Dos is a pain)

Thanks much for your Infos!
Best would be if the Keyboard suggested is available with Amazon.com or Ebay.com, then it usually really is US Layout

Oh and if anyone has a DECK LEGEND PS2 for sale, I would love to buy one!!

It's a high quality mechanical so it's not cheap but the WASD Code board is PS/2 or USB & is backlit.
