Default Is this store Legit

Alright, i'm looking for a natural keyboard that has multimedia keys and built in USB port. I also want REALLY soft keys, softer than MS natural keyboards. Unfortunately, i don't think that the people that make my keyboard (silitek, a subdivision of lite-on) make a keyboard with these specifications and thus I'm stuck getting an MS keyboard. The only one I know that meets these requirements is the MS Natural Pro. Using Froogle.com I've only found a couple of sites that carry this kb. One is through yahoo, so it SHOULD be safe to order from, right? What about the other ones. here are the links and you give me your opinion of where I should order from. (or if you ahve one that works and would like to sell it to me, lmk, or if you know of another keyboard with these options, definitely let me know, thanks).

1) http://www.directdial.com/us/shop/it...item=B61-00002
2) http://store.yahoo.com/letterfolders...natprokey.html
3) http://store.yahoo.com/freesoftware-...natkeypro.html
4) http://store.yahoo.com/memtec-pc/micnatkeypro.html
5) http://store.yahoo.com/freeshippingo...natkeypro.html

and is it just me, or is 3) and 5) eerily similar. they are both yahoo stores, so it's expected for them to be similar, but the names. . are they trying to hide from something, or wut??

I wouldn't worry about it. I've used yahoo stores before w/no problems. I'd go to www.pricewatch.com and search for the kb there and see what the cheapest price is, because I know those stores are legit.

I payed something like $27 for mine a year or so ago, been a while. A lighter touch would be nice but it's the best board i've used. PS: my board is only usb, not ps2 thats why its cheaper i guess. I got it at www.hdnw.com but their site is runnen off a 386 and dialup it feels like right now. I didn't buy it on the site they have a store that i went to.

Try this keyboard ->

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...328518&loc=101

It is a natural keyboard, but its wireless (RF)

I tested it out at Best Buy and I really licked the keys on it.

actually, for my keyboard, i'd really rather not lose my wire. Of al lthings i dont' want dying on me, it's my kb, if you know what i mean. i don't keep batteries around and i'd just die if it was 3 in the morning and i'm working on something and my keyboard stops working.

Good point. My Logitech Wingman is wireless, and I was in the middle of a game of GTA:VC and I was in a big police chase when it died. NOT COOL. I had to practicly beg my little sister for some batteries because I was out and it was late, so I couldn't just up and run to the store. Then I had to go save the game using the mouse and keyboard to drive. I got killed.....
