Shopping for a new keyboard

I'm typing this on my Trust keyboard. It's very like the original Microsoft split keyboard. I've attached a picture of each of them for you to see the similarity. I think the action of the keys is better on the Trust than my old Microsoft one, and it feels more solid.

The connection is the old type, but one of my children found a converter that allows me to plug it into a USB port.

I find that I have to use these split keyboards because I had a motorbike accident back in 1989 that damaged the bones in my right wrist. Ever since then I've needed to type with my right wrist straight rather than angled, like it would be on a straight keyboard.

Until recently I used a modern USB connected black Microsoft split keyboard, but the letters all rubbed off the keys, and then the rubbery stuff on the wrist support started disintegrating, so I threw it out and dragged my old Trust one out of the loft. It's perfect for me, being a touch typist, and I'll probably use it till it falls apart, and then I'll see if I can find another one.

The Compaq desktop I bought for my wife in...2001(?) came with a Microsoft split keyboard that looked like your Trust KB.
