Bought about 6 of them, 3 of the old style 'ps2' connectors, and 3 with USB connectors.

They lasted an average of three months apiece - and a couple would not work at all. Continual problems with them - they would mysteriously 'drop' from the system - sometimes coming back if hot-unplugged and plugged back in - sometimes requiring a system reboot. Keys that all of a sudden would no longer work (forever) - putting out the wrong character .... and so forth.

I will NEVER buy another Inland Product. They are shoddy products, at best.

At $9.99 for the Logitech Keyboard (low-end, simple, USB) - they are far superior in quality. Have been going for over a year on the one I am using currently. Logitech Mice - a laser mouse for $5.99 - ALSO far superior to the idiot MS mice in quality - and better than other brands. WIll never buy another 'roller-ball' mouse as long as I live - the laser mice from Logitech are excellent - and the 'mouse buttons' have not failed on me either - as they do with the MS mice - and don't even get me started on Inland mice.

Logitech - excellent quality, even at their lowest end of their models. Life's too short for crap. *s*

Oh, and USB vs. PS2 - USB is much preferred. Interchangeable ports - and USB boards are replaceable. Ever have a PS2 port go bad on ya on the motherboard ? You are SOL if that happens - no workarounds. Have never had a USB port go TU (tits up) on me - HAVE had several PS2 ports go bad over the years.

Just my extremely verbose (and highly opinionated) one and half cents worth.

Ciao,

BTW: MicroCenter ROCKS - very pleased with that chain of stores.
