My favorite keyboard of all time was the "Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite,"
which is ergonomic in design.

I can recall buying 2 or 3 of these some years ago for the price of about
$39.

Recently I thought about buying another, but then I found this:

https://www.newegg.com/microsoft-natural-keyboard-elite-a11-00337-usb-or-ps-2-wired/p/N82E16823109143

What is going on here?  Are they kidding?  $336 for a cheaply made keyboard
with a PS/2 connector?  (Yes, it requires a USB adapter.)

Who can explain this outrageous increase in price?
