Best Keyboard for <20$? (USB)

[chinspecial]

I am currently pretty much broke and I'm piecing together my build. I'm probably gonna borrow a usb keyboard from my friend since my new mobo won't have a PS/2 port. Anyone have any recommendations for a keyboard >20$?

I'm a big fan of both the Logitech UltraX ($17) and the Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 ($14). Keep in mind that both of them have low, laptop-style keys, and some people don't like them.

I'll second the vote for the Ultra-X, they're excellent keyboards if you like the laptop-style keys

It seems like the cheapest way to obtain one of these keyboards is through eBay. Despite the high mark-up for shipping, I was able to purchase my UltraX keyboard a few weeks ago for around $20 shipped. Today, the cheapest that I've found the UltraX was for around $21 ($9.99 Buy It Now plus $10.99 shipping), and the Comfort Curve 2000 cost around $15 ($4.99 Buy It Now plus $9.99 shipping).

However, vendors there often sell OEM or refurbished keyboards -- mine was an OEM model, with no retail packaging or software -- so YMMV.

I have the Ultra X and love it as well.
