[CQ-Contest] Keyboard for Contesting

[Bill Parry]

You know Pete, I was watching one of those infomercials yesterday on TV and
they were advertising a keyboard with pretty big keys and the letters on the
keys were much larger.  I was thinking that it might be just the thing for
me. I didn't order it or write the information down but I wonder if anyone
has seen something like this from a more "reputable" source. (You're not the
only one with fat fingers!)

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Keyboard for Contesting

I know this subject has been covered before, but the market moves so rapidly
that data more than a year old is apt to be obsolete.

Here's my problem.  I just got a new Dell computer for the shack.  I am a
hunt and peck typist with a high fat-finger rate.  The previous keyboard had
nicely separated keytops, while the new one is much more like a laptop.  As
a consequence, my error rate is way up.  I can't use the old keyboard
because it was PS/2, and my KVM switch doesn't recognize it with an adapter.

What I'm looking for is recommendations for a wired or wireless USB keyboard
that has widely separated keys like an 8-year-old Dell.  Please drop me a
note off the reflector, and I'll summarize the responses I get.

Thanks!
