    This has to be a joke...

    Please tell me I'm an April Fool...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823131053

    I started searching and found this on Amazon and other sites as well. What the crap. It looks like a keyboard and mouse from the late 90's.

    I should have been able to tell from the model number, but I looked it up on KeyTronic's website here... It is a pack of 10 keyboards and 10 mice (all USB).

    Ahhh, I didn't see that anywhere in the Newegg description. Good catch. Still, for 10 year old computer peripherals, that still seems steep!

    $19 for a keyboard and mouse seems kind of steep??

    Wish I could see a better picture! It's says a 2 button Optical Mouse with scroll. The picture doesn't look like a scroll. The keyboard also says Windows Key which hasn't really been around that long either. Both are USB too. Maybe it's an old picture?

    I haven't had a keyboard that DIDN'T have a Windows key in ages...The last one must have been the keyboard that came with my Apple IIe

    Optical mice weren't available 10 years ago, nor was USB.

    It's a good deal.

    You know, some people go out of their way to find ancient keyboards simply because they prefer the feel of the keys. I'm talking 1980's era keyboards.

    True true. Though they still look like something that came with our 486...
