I want to get a cheap USB keyboard for my laptop. Anyones out there with a retail price in between 7-11$?

I'm interested in this as well. Wife spilled water on our laptop keyboard. Some keys work. Some don't. Cheapest I could find on Amazon was for $14.

Well...Beware!
I was looking for the same thing. Got the cheapest one I found at Wally World. Problem was, the keys are not layed out as what your use to, and also they were so close together and small it was like a laptop keyboard. Returned it and spent $10 more to get an honest to goodness MS keyboard at compusa.

newegg has entry level logitech and microsoft ones for 5-8$, shipping kills the deal though. If you have a fry's B&M or microcenter B&M nearby you can easily get an OEM keyboard for <10$ after tax

I have one of those. Just check the Sunday adds for Staples, OfficeDepot, Compusa, and Officemax.

I'd recommend a white keyboard with black lettering. Easier to read than a black keyboard.
For some odd reason, there's plenty of inexpensive white PS2 keyboards, but very few white USB keyboards.
Newegg has a white KeyTronic one for about $23, shipped.
There are also aluminum USB keyboards, but are more expensive.

I dunno about USB, but the other day I realized the cheapest Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combos are the OEM Dell ones that folks sell brand new for $55-$70 on eBay (combo price.)
