Best bet is ebay, I suspect. Some manufacturers of industry-level PCs used to do ugly rectangular keyboards which might be what you're after.

Maplin have some really cute tiny-weeny keyboards (just so cute) but they're not wireless.

I think you're going to struggle with small and wireless, to be honest Charlie. Especially if you want PS/2 and not USB.

I have a small keyboard from Maplin that uses PS/2 and has a built-in glidepad like a laptop's - saves a lot of space as you don't need a separate mouse. But it is wired, not wireless.

Edit: Oh. Having said that, a quick search of www.maplin.co.uk shows that they DO have a miniture wireless keyboard. But as I said, you;re going to struggle with PS/2 as this is USB.


linky

And this is the wired one with the built-in glidepad I mentioned:



And this is the really cute teeny-weeny one. Wired again though.

Can't you use a USB to PS/2 converter?

I presume so... don't really know.

I do not need a mouse with this pc, so really only looking for the keyboard.

Can't say I'm over impressed with titchy keyboards though - I've got that cute teeny weeny (wired) one that Jon mentions above - a KeySonic Nano. It's cr@p. I got it to use just for booting my server, after which I run a virtual desktop on it so I can mouse across from my workstation and use my main keyboard instead - but even for that its absolute rubbish, missing half the keystrokes in a password.

Feel free to knock yourself out here though, if you are hell bent on frustration!

Fraid the pad makes it too big.

I only need to it toggle between some screens, press ctrl, the space bar now and again, while in a car on the dyno. So it does not have to be great, and can be cheap because it will be abused.

Try here - if they don't have what you want, I doubt it exists!

Actually I suspect this one might be what you need:



It has the added Vixpy bonus of being rubber. wink
