At least these boards only play tricks with that one key; the Kensington USB "keyboard for life" also rearranges the 6-key pad above the arrow keys (insert, delete, etc) in order to add some special keys.
Those are some seriously screwy keyboards.

Couldn't find any reviews at all. I still want to know if the keys are spongy and if the keyboard is solid enough to stay put while I'm typing.

Shipping weights I've seen for the 10 packs ranged from 15 to 24 lbs, so you can't even make a reasonable guess.

I keep making it to the final order page for 3 sets of 10 but then I say "wtf am i doing!?!" and close my browser tab.

I know we're ordering keyboards at work today so I could probably sell them to my work but I still cant get myself to click the order button.

Waaaaaa

Will they work in Canada?

Best thing: Five year warranty. If you could work it so the
warranty didn't start until you started using a keyboard,
you could still be using these in 50 years....

After I finished reading all this and convince myself to buy one, I click "I want one" and then it tells me sold out! Maybe that's a good thing though.

It will work on a windows 95 machine.. but some idiot would try to use the "windows" key and wonder why the start menu won't open... call the warranty number and try to get a new keyboard.

Every morning I take a peek to see what is on woot - it is good entertainment (ok, maybe I amuse easily) Anyway, this morning I thought what in the name of "_" would anyone, other than a small business, want with 10 keyboards? and you were SOLD OUT when I got here! Amazing! And I thought I would win the "amazing collection of junk" contest....obviously, I've been out classed (and out wooted)!

This is crazy because I priced 10 PS/2 keyboards on a different site last Thursday. I almost bought too, but even on cheap keyboards, the shipping can get pretty high. In that case the shipping was more than the cost of the keyboards.

But no need to worry! Woot came through for me again! First a bunch of cheap mice(1/16), now a bunch of cheap keyboards.

As the office manager of a nonprofit organization, I say THANK YOU WOOT!

They do work with Windows 95. These keyboards will work with absolutely any OS that uses a keyboard.
