I need a USB keyboard for my Mac. Since you can get PC keyboard pretty much anywhere for $10, I assumed that there would also be cheap Mac keyboards somewhere, somehow. I can't seem to find anything under $40-$50, though. What are the cheapest keyboards out there? Is there a particular store people order from? Or is my best bet to buy a PC keyboard and Sharpie the Mac keys onto it? Ghetto, I know, but I might just get frustrated enough to do it.
Got a tip for us?

I often see the last gen- plastic/white keyboards on craigslist for 10-20. eBay is also a good choice. But if you've got to have new....

$65 after shipping. Still 6x more than you'd pay for a cheap PC keyboard. I guess I'll just stalk eBay for now.
$22.84 from Amazon.
I've actually used this keyboard for a few years now. I like everything about it, except the last time I checked, the driver for the volume keys was a little quirky (though it did work).
