Anna,

I have a mini keyboard for my kitchen computer.

You may also want to check out the other options there, including the roll
up keyboard. We do have those at work, in a filthy, dusty environment and
they are great.
You can also run to your local Wal-Mart and purchase a standard keyboard for
cheap (usually under $10).
Replacing a keyboard is simple.
