[AusNOG] Keyboards...

[Andrew Cheng]

I sometimes use the Das, but found it too loud for typing during skype
calls, so I've gone back to this one:

(The designer P2 - membrane based, similar to the honeywell of the era)

I've had it for ~14 years, keys are worn as, but is still sensational. It
is PS2 though.. but nothing a $5 adapter (make sure you get an "active"
one) doesn't fix.
