Default USB Keyboards?

Are these possible to buy to get to work with a laptop/

Just our lass spilt a glass of wine on the laptops keyboard the other night and it still refuses to work, however I have alot of stuff I need to get off it however cant due to not being able to type my password in!

Cheers

John

you want something like this http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/93725/rb/25182226445

I know you dont need the mouse but thats still dirt cheap.
I cant see why it wouldnt work on a laptop if its plugged into the usb port, its the same thing isnt it you could always ring them up and ask

Hmmm looks like a good package.

Yeah I cant see a problem myself either as I know I can plug a USB mouse in to use if I get pissed off with the touchpad (all the time then ) but this technology stuff is just stupid sometimes so can just see it not accepting a keyboard or somet

For the sake of about Ł20 though (inc postage) might as well just give it a try

Yeah works fine, i use a Logitech usb cordless desktop when i'm in the office and theres no problem. Laptops will recognise any normal pc peripherals you plug into them
