I know they exist as I have seen them for sale in the states and Hong Kong but i cant find one for sale in the UK. It has to be a proper PS2 keyboard and not run through an adaptor as older PC's still will not recognise the input through an adaptor.

HELP!

From that ebay link, against payment details "All major credit cards and cheques accepted", does that mean through paypal only ?

As ATP suggests, it is possible to use PayPal without actually having an account with them.
After paying on Ebay, you're taken to paypal, but rather than logging in you fill in their credit card payment section instead.

The one on play uses a usb adaptor. I think I will try and use my card on Ebay as that is exactly what I want. Cheers all 🙂

£40! Thats a little silly for a keyboard IMO.

While the play one uses USB it comes with a USB to PS2 adapter.

Although you could just buy any USB one and a USB to PS2 adapter separately 🙂

But a USB to PS2 adaptor will not work on older PC's prior to plug and play USB. WIN98 and prior which I have to use all the time.

You didn't know that, because it's actually wrong. 😉

Windows 95 onwards all had plug and play. You'd have to be using 3.1 or earlier to not have it.

There's a reason it's known as "plug and pray" under W9x though.
