Well the "magic word" was "dummy keyboards" ... and they are appropriately
named. The ones I found were $136 for a keyboard / mouse combo. I can get a
brand new keyboard & mouse for about $15 and just plug 'em in and forget
about 'em. After all, I'm not going to actually use them ... so I don't care
if all the keys have caps on them or if the mouse has lice. I was thinking
the whole deal would go for $10-$15 and at that price they made sense. At
$136, the pricing seems absurd almost to the point of being funny.
Almost.
