I bought it from a Mail Order place. It cost me $99 dollars plus tax. It is a great keyboard. It has a good heavy feel to it, and comes with a 5 year warranty. Some features: -------------- Control Key function Block f1-f12 on the left. Configurable Function Keys (shift F1) along the top (sf1-sf12) It has a full arrow key pad with home end page up, pagedown, delete, help, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause in the cluster. It also has the standard amiga 2000 numeric pad to the left of the previously described cluster. The keys have a great tactile "clicky" feeling to them. My typing speeds have increased noticeably. The number to keyboard sales is 800-526-2446 Frank Busalacchi
