Does such a keyboard exist?

[Marduk]

I'm looking for one of the buckling spring keyboards...having used one again this past weekend, I kind of miss them.

But, I'd -like- a few extra things.

1. USB port (the one I was on had an AT/PS-2 adapter)
2. Black
3. WINDOWS KEYS
4. and...internal USB hub?

Yes, yes, yes, and not so often. If you can forego the hub I'd say Saitek Eclipse is fun (then again I'm using one).

I have a white keyboard that has 2 USB ports on it. The spacebar is also crappying out.

The eclipse is a buckling spring keyboard? I had no idea. I'd seriously consider getting one if that's the case. Anyway, pckeyboard.com has a buckling spring keyboard with windows keys, but it isn't usb. And it looks like they have a black one but I don't think that one has windows keys. Though a can of vinyl dye is only a few bucks if you want to go that route. I hate to say it but I don't think you'll be able to find a keyboard that meets all four of your criteria. Buckling spring keyboards just aren't made much anymore so they don't have all the nice features of modern keyboards.

I'm not sure what different keyboard mechanisms are called...but um think Keytronic or some of those old school IBM boards. They've got the solid feel and bit of a snap when they're released, so I'm guessing springs of some sort.
