[WTB] mini 56-key usb keyboard

phantomoperator · 26 May 2016, 11:03

I am in need of a huge favor from someone. I am working on a mini hacking laptop project and I need a mini keyboard to go with it. I have looked and looked for this one particular keyboard and I cannot seem to find one for sale. It has 56 keys and is usb, not bluetooth. I have found tons of sites that have it listed for sale, but then they turn out to be out of stock. If anyone happens to have one of these keyboards and is willing to make a deal and sell it, or happens to know of a reliable source where I can get one, please let me know.

Thanks for reading.

Any particular brand and part number, or just USB and tiny? I have a qty of these that are in folios for tablets. They have USB connectors.

As far as part numbers go, there seems to be quite a few but the most common one is 008, or KB-008. If you Google 56-key mini USB keyboard that will usually turn up alot of results. I'm really just looking for a key board that is this small (about 6.5 inches wide) that works over USB and not Bluetooth.

All of mine are larger than 6.5". Try this guy; he seems to have (or had) Northgate minis that are 6.5". http://www.northgate-keyboard-repair.com/

What? "Northgate" Bob Tibbetts sells tiny scissor keyboards?

Oh, I looked at the site. The *short* dimension of the SIIG Minitouch is 6.5"
