You can get a new Trackman Marble for $30 that's USB, and I would suggest trying the MS Comfort Curve keyboards. I've got a couple of the top level keyboards you have (split style) and I like the comfort curve better. I've got a discontinured wireless set, keyboard and laser mouse 6000 that I paid $15 for off a clearance sale site.

Wow fussnfeathers, where do you get such deals?

I would have to see them before I could get them. I am sinking my $$ into this upgrade, so it will be a few months before I can get more additions. With hyper-inflation around the corner, I need to get them before too late. Quandry, I know.

I will see if I can get a pic of the Keyboard & Mouse you propose. I really need the split keyboard, because of my left hand having problems. It's a weird thing, but I have it and have to deal with it.

Thanks fussnfeathers!

There's one a couple of steps above the base model. I think mine is more or less the old Laser Desktop 4000, at least that's what driver I used for it. Technically a Microsoft Mac keyboard (oxymoron, I know) that uses Intellitype. Nice keyboard, I really like the sweep of the curve, compared to the almost severe angle of the older ergo keyboards. If you want to get close to your current keyboard with some improvements you might like, look at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823109148 . Re-engineered version of your current keyboard. And they still make a plain version of the original ergo keyboard, just all white now, instead of blue and off-white. That's still the old PS/2 interface, just comes with a USB adapter.

Poke around the 'net. Deals pop up from time to time on the good sites, sometimes you just have to be patient, is all.

Yeah, I need to have the same type of keyboard that I have. That is why I never got away from this keyboad. It fits so good and I just haven't found one that is this good.

The one you refer to is very good, and I may just see if I can get a budget for it. I did find a mouse and keyboard @ Logitech. The TrackMAn Marble they have is ok. I really would like the base to be the same, I rest my rist on it. The original has a high lift into the palm of the hand. This is well suited to me. However, the two at Logitech are good as well.

the Comfort Desktop Laser (it's under Keyboard & Mouse combos @ Logitech) is the one I would get. I don't like the mouse they put with this kBoard. The do have the "update" trackMan Marble. May be I could get a deal with Logitech wink

PS2 keyboard and USB mouse? That doesn't make a lot of sense either.
