Anybody know if these actually *work*?

I have one of the black SGI USB keyboards (made by Siltek); but I cant use
it - because its the model that *also* has a PS/2 mouse interface on the
keyboard, even though there's no "port" on the keyboard to plug one into -
it gets detected as a USB keyboard and USB mouse... and according ot the last
release notes/bugreports I read, the Sun sees that mouse as "being there",
and wont use a separate mouse you've got plugged in.

Awful tempted to try this MacAlly iKey keyboard on the Blade; if it works,
I'll just go pick up another at Frys.
