I know what you mean, I had to purchase the new 8 port one. Only thing you can do is bend over and take it like a man. Not like you'd find something like that on ebay :evil: .

In regards to the OP thinking. The Multiplexer has to be a simple circuit. Really if you think about it you could take a single PS2 keyboard. Cut the PS2 connection off it. Get 4 PS2 keyboard wires, cut the one end of and splice them together. Of course there may be impendence mismatches, which over time could do damage to the board. Doing it that way would look like a rat nest of wires, which brings us back to wireless keyboards.

A skilled electronic technician could most likely build a Multiplexer or copy it, simple as the circuit is. Then just make their own version for ¼ cost in a ghetto radio shack project box. Just check to see if they have a patent on the Multiplexer. Small as the place is I bet they didn’t shell out the 12k patent fee. Long as it’s not Exactly the same you can build them to your hearts content. But if you use this idea I want 10% :lol:
