Dell keyboard
Must depend on the computer you're buying from dell. All the new GX280s we bought have no ps2 ports for keyboards or mice. Worse yet the USB adapters for the ps2 keyboards and mice don't work with these machines! Adding insult to injury I could find only one USB ergonomic keyboard (don't like wireless) and that one was so cheaply built as to be impractical. So I had to go wireless to get an ergo keyboard on this machine and replace my perfectly good MarbleMouse with one that is USB.

I really like Dell but this was frustrating.

Sorry for carrying this so far off subject.
