Sun “Type 7” USB keyboard and optical mouse now available
Sun now has the Type 7 USB keyboard (in UNIX or PC layouts) and optical USB mouse available. The keyboard features a built-in USB hub.
The country kits with PC-style keyboard (X3731A) and UNIX-style keyboard (X3738A) are $50 each at the online Sun Store. I’ve ordered one and will post a review once it arrives.
I looked up on Sunstore and it is unclear if this is a country kit or not…
The P/N returns “Sun Type 7 keyboard”, i.e. no mention of the mouse or anything…
I’m kind of concerned that a Type 6 kit is $75 and Type 7 is only $50, what are we losing with a Type 7?
I got mine in today. The $50 is for the entire country kit (keyboard, mouse, and two power cords).
Hey whats the verdict on the type 7 keyboard?
I’ve been using it for a week or so on the Mac here at work. It’s better than a Type 6, but still “firm mushy” and not as good as the old Type 5. The optical mouse is great, though.
