Ahh, yeah that could be an issue. I think the Keytronic classic might be
a mechanical keyboard, and comes in both PS/2 and USB variants.

I believe you are correct on that. Will have to look into it. They sure
don't make 'em like they used to. I had an old Northgate Omnikey Ultra
keyboard that I used until it finally gave out and I couldn't get
replacement parts easily for it.

Best keyboards (if I'm asked) were those that Cherry made themselves.

Hmm, I might have to look into those - it occurs to me that a bluetooth
keyboard solves my KVM issue as well (sort of).
*foreheadslap*
In fact, I just realized that without even thinking about it, I'm using
an Apple wireless keyboard right now with my PC. I even spent two days
setting it up (bluetooth on the new machine was acting a little weird -
Dell didn't install the driver on Win 8.1, and the bluetooth was disabled
as a result).
