Keyboard - with USB ports

[Grumpy Lee]

Hi Guys

I'm trying to find a keyboard with USB ports so that I don't have to crawl under my desk everytime I want to stick my stick in. I know they're out there somewhere (I also do not want to pay megabucks for one!!!)

Yes, I know I could get (yet) another hub but the desk is cluttered enough as it is and the keyboard could do with replacing anyway so I thought this was a good idea until I started looking

Any thoughts, recommendations?

Cheers, Lee

Thanks for the verification on that ,

All I di dwas to type in "keyboards with USB ports" in Google and it thru up that suggestion.

Later, I thought it was a good idea,for myself, and tried finding it on Staples website to no avail.

Thanks again

Pat

Er I should clarify (before you head off and maybe don't find it).....I haven't looked at the one linked to, all I saw was that they have keyboards with usb ports, didn't look at models

Suggestion....

How about a USB port hub? My laptop only has two USB ports so I've got a couple of 4-gang hubs blue-tacked to the desk within easy reach. Don't know if they're cheaper or not, but worth a thought if the lack of easily reachable ports is your only issue.....

Good to see you around Lee!

Don't know if a Mac keyboard will work with a PC (it should, mind) but most of the new thin Mac keyboards have two USB ports.

Good to see you around Lee!

Always been around, just not so often as I'd like!!!!!

Anyway, just ordered one of these

And while I was at it found this as well
