Keyboard for P3 SVGA

I apologize for asking a question that has been asked before, but I just got
an SVGA board for my P3. I tried an old Dell (Logitech) USB wireless
keyboard but it doesn't seem to work. I seem to be pairing the USB receiver
with the keyboard but typing an * isn't recognized by the P3 SVGA.

The question, of course, is what keyboards, preferably wireless, have been
found to be compatible with a P3/SVGA? Are there any that are full-travel,
rather than "Chicklet" style?

Thanks very much.

73, Jim N7US

Jim,

I've be very happy with the Logitech K360.

Full stroke (or nearly so) and available at some good discounts at Amazon,
etc.

I have one of the rubber Monoprice flexible roll-up ones, very flat and easy
to store out of the way when not in use.

Price was very attractive.

Hi Jim,

The keyboard I use here is the Logitech K360. You can usually find them at a great discount from Staples and Amazon. Technically speaking, the USB stack on the SVGA board is looking for a basic PC BIOS keyboard.
