This is small and inexpensive: 
Boxcave 78 Key Wired USB Mini Slim Keyboard 

You can find it on Amazon for $19.00. Anything similar would work just as well. 
I agree with the others. Stay away from elaborate keyboards that have USB ports 
or other bells and whistles.

I use a wireless keyboard made by TECKNET that works fine.  You plug in 
the wireless adapter to the USB port on the P3 or PX3 and your set.

As I remember, the P3 does not support USB hubs. So, I would 
also avoid any keyboard with a built-in USB hub like the older 
Apple keyboards. These keyboards can be recognized because they 
have connections for additional USB devices.

Here's a list of keyboards that are known to work with the PX3:

http://www.elecraft.com/manual/px3_keyboard_list_A3.pdf

I think most "plain Jane" keyboards will work.  It says:

Note: Most "PC BIOS compatible" keyboards will work.  In other
words, the keyboard must be able to be recognized by the PC
BIOS.  This rules out Bluetooth and multimedia style keyboards,
those with mice, touchpads, and multimedia functions.

I believe that keyboards that work with the PX3 should work with the P3/SVGA 
also.
