GC: GC keyboard

[EphekZ]

Now I don't know if any of you know this already but anyways here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/torpidfrogs/Powerboard_KeyboardGC.gif
Finally there will be a Gamecube keyboard released in the US! This is a full-size computer style keyboard that you can simply plug it into your Gamecube and start chatting on PSO! This is terrific news for many of us that didn't want to fork out $80.00 for the import ASCII GC keyboard. The Powerboard keyboard should be available (if there are no delays) on March 28 for only $19.99. You can order the keyboard here.

im not sure if this is correct but if you want the link to the site I found it at here

I posted that on altair. This keyboard has been out atleast a year. Since PSO was out anyway.

The Powerboard has been in the US for a while (and not even imported).

I got one at Funcoland in April. I know others have had one since last year.

Problems with it:
1) The adapter part overheats fairly easily, sometimes causing typing errors.
2) Some keys don't do what they say/are supposed to. The leter keys work fine though.
3) Shift+CTRL+something doesn't work properly.

Some of these are easily corrected:
1) Take off or drill a hole in the cover of the adapter.
2) Eventually you will get used to the new key positions.
3) I don't know a cure for 3 though.

Yes they are rubbish cheap keyboards.

Powerboard is available for PS2, GC and XBOX.

All the same thing except with different connectors. The GC one seems to be the most unreliable.

Wow this news is sooooooo old I had to triple check the date of the post. I thought maybe it was an old one bumped from last year LOL http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Also you can get the Gameshark SHARKBOARD (http://www.gameshark.com/index.asp?s=75_6470e11b-f83e-4cc2-8070-98f3f35d424&c=gamecube&a=products&id=24) for the same price.
