    I am looking for a usb keyboard to use with my 4720s Probook and NC10 when I hook them up to a monitor. The only thing I've got currently is an old keyboard that I used with my modded Xbox, it's not ideal as some keys are wrongly mapped (probably driver related) and there's no £ sign, which is kinda tricky when you're from the UK! :D

    The 4720s has a chiclet keyboard which I'm slowly getting used to, the NC10 has an excellent one. So I'm after something that has a relatively short key travel, height/angle adjustable.

    This one from Cherry looks best so far. . .

    Cherry Stream XT - G85-23100GB-2: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

    Any other suggestions?

    I find that a keyboard is something so personal and subjective that is hard and maybe pointless to try and advice someone else..What is an excellent keyboard for someone might be a source of aggrivation for someone else.The one in Amazon looks pretty good but as I said.......
