1. Keyboard
The keyboard to my main rig died... and while I have a bunch of spare keyboards, they all are basic yellowed 104 key relics.
The few things I'm looking for in a new (or used if cheap, I can clean) keyboard are:
1. Older type keyboard. Doesn't need to be fully mechanical , but I want some keystroke.
2. Have at least some volume hotkeys (+, -. mute) that work with linux. Any other hotkeys I don't care for.
3. Must be PS/2 or usb with PS/2 adapter compatibility. My rig only has 2 rear USB ports, and if I ever have a USB printer, I'll be filled (it already has a webcam on one port). And no, I really don't want to use a hub or Usb card.
4. Must be decent quality.
5. Must be no more than $30, the less the better.
I don't care about color to be honest.
Otherwise, I'm all ears.
2. Mice
I'd also like to swap mice on the main rig.
What I have now is a Microsoft optical 5 button with a PS/2 adapter. It's kinda yellowed and it's the last one that still works (I've had 3 failures in the past). This one seems to be on the way out (the optical sensors seem to wear, and no, it's not a dirty sensor).
I'd also like to get a decent laptop mouse for my laptop. The Microsoft wireless 6000 I have is the 3rd one I've gotten under warranty... and it technically broke (rubber scroll tire split, POS).
Specs for both mice:
1. 5 Button, with buttons 4 and 5 on opposite sides. I don't like the kind that have both on the left side (I tend to accidentally hit the wrong one, which can have TRAGIC results).
2A. For the desktop, I want a wired desktop sized mouse with PS/2 or USB with PS/2 adapter compatibility
2B. For the laptop, I want a non-rechargeable wireless. I'd really like to go to bluetooth on this one, if said mouse exists. Laptop sized will work, but I'm also open to laptop mice.
3. 4 way scroll would be nice but not quite required.
4. Some sort of optical. A ball might work for the desktop, but probably not for the laptop.
5. Must be decent quality. Flimsy won't do.
6. New or used will work. If used, decent condition only.
7. No more than $25 for the desktop or $40 for the laptop.
Any suggestions?
