I just picked up a new in box Dreamcast keyboard from my EBGames for $2.99 (couldn't pass it up at that price) even though I have absolutely no games for that use it.
I got it to try out Typing of the Dead (whenever I can find it under $10), but are there any other games you can use this with?

Phantasy Star Online (and v2), Unreal Tournament, and the Web browser support the keyboard, maybe others that someone else has tried out.

Hidden and Dangerous is the only other one I know :)

For PSO, is its only function to communicate with others online, or can you use it for one-player?
Also, has anyone tried Typing of the Dead with 2 people? They have another keyboard at EB & I thought about picking it up if 2-player was any fun.

Pick it up anyway ;) trust me.
I am kicking myself for not getting more cheap Keyboards when I
had the chance (AU$5 basically the same price as your's) now there
selling on eBay for $10-$15 :roll: D'oh!

PSO: There really isn't much use for the keyboard outside of onilne play, to be honest, so it won't do you much good here anymore.
Typing of the Dead: the TWO PLAYER GAME ROCKS! You must get a second keyboard. Stop reading. GO GO GO!

I'm there!
One of two of the FPS games (Quake 3 ? Unreal ? KISS ?) allowed for the keyboard/mouse combo to be used.

That would be Unreal Tournament.

Took the words right out of my mouth -- such an awesome game. Make sure you divvy up who's gonna be typing what though - if you're both typing the same thing that means that someone's forgetting about the other stuff... and that's the real trick! :D Two words: game plan.

The Atari 5200/400/800 emulator also uses the DC keyboard for those games that require it .. i.e. Infocom, etc.
And if the C64 emulator ever gets finished......... (where's the "in love" emoticon?)

It was one of those surprise deals.
It was marked $4.99 (which I thought was a good price) and it rang up for $2.99. I should've just bought the other one right then, but I wasn't sure how useful even one would be.
But, now I know. :)

While I'm on the subject of good deals...
I'm sure everyone knows this by now, but the reason I went in EB was to snag a copy of Metal Gear Solid Substance for the Xbox for $19.99.
You can't beat that price, especially if you never played the PS2 version (like me). Awesome movie/game. :/
