"...items in the write place..."
How Freudian. -sc From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 6:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Keyboard recommendation Also, I have to have: insert, home, pageup delete, end, page down in that order. Tell me again who thought it would be a good idea to dump the insert button just to have a giant delete key That is my absolutely biggest complaint!!! For some reason, everyone thinks that innovation in keyboards is some grand thing they should be pursuing now, so it's hard to get a good wireless keyboard with all of the items in the write place. Those that have the right keys for the regular keyboard invariably have tiny Fx function keys, or have all those special one-touch keys that spawn apps. It's bad enough that laptop keyboards are all different, but must desktop keyboards suddenly go down this path as well?

Make sure you get the inverted T cursor controls and not a + layout or worse. Also, I have to have: insert, home, pageup delete, end, page down in that order. Tell me again who thought it would be a good idea to dump the insert button just to have a giant delete key? Finally, it's pretty nice having the extra equal, parentheses, and backspace key above the numeric keypad. I say all that to vote for the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 7000, mines the wireless version, but I could go either way. It's also got a bunch of programmable keys, but they're not all that important to me. -----Original Message----- From: Raper, Jonathan - Eagle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 3:59 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Keyboard recommendation "Also, I like having the "correct" layout on my keyboard.

I myself love my IBM M series, but my workmates hate how loud I am on it. So Have a cheap dell. I can't stand some of the new keyboards on laptops, especially ones with no definition between the keys, very little fall to a keystroke, and no satisfying feeling that I've hit the key. Some desktop keyboards are moving in this direction... I hope that fad dies a quick and painful death. Also, I like having the "correct" layout on my keyboard. The "\" key should be above the Enter key. Nah, I'm not picky.
