Final note on this thread before I put it down to the archives and posterity
for the next person looking for a kb. I got a Das Keyboard Silent Ultimate
on Friday.
It's mechanical, but it eliminates the click portion of the sound that an
M style mechanical keyboard makes. Instead you hear the

and that is all well and jolly on most PC/Mac keyboards.
BUT, on laptops this seems a no-no as there is no numeric keypad to

part, and what should be the RETURN key seems to combine

Thanks, but what is a Fn button?
It's the bottom left key in the picture at

There are both return and enter keys on my MacBookPro.

I've ordered one keyboard to test, because I haven't liked anything that
I've felt in any of the local stores. I also have another that I want to
try because it looks like it's probably very cool.
Anyway, the main point here was this: I've been researching keyboards for
about a month. I am

Once I got used to it I quite like the flat aluminum Mac keyboards and
bought several corded ones for home and office.
The Kinesis board takes a lot of getting used to but is great if

Al,
For what it is worth, I don't like any of those keyboards, either.
When I travel with my laptop I carry a Mac Mini Pro keyboard that I
got from Fentek years ago. I'd recommend it but I went to their site
and they no longer carry it. What I like about it is that it is
compact, light
Well thanks to this thread at least I found out where the # key went on the
UK Mac keyboards, which maybe might come in handly one day. Its surreal to
have it be alt + 3 unmarked. How on earth are you supposed to know that?

I WANT to like the Apple-branded keyboards, but my first impression is that
I don't like the chicklets on the wireless version, and I think I want a
full 105 key keyboard.
I've been to Best Buy but I haven't found one that feels good under my
fingers.
Suggestions
HI, Mike,
There are actually two models, the full size USB 105 key version with num
keypad, and the wireless, smaller version.
if you haven't tried one of the 'newer' mac keyboards, they're not as
impractical and non-tactile as they look.
They take a little getting used
, people also like a lot.

I use the apple corded keyboard at work, and for home I use the wireless
short version (without the numeric keypad)... It took me a few days to get
used to the one at home, but now I'm equally comfortable on both. At least
now I don't have to tote my keyboard around with me along with my Mbpro.
I ordered a few items the other day, one of which is the shorter wireless
keyboard. I'm expecting to get on with it ok, because I full time use a MacBook
Pro keyboard, which is more or less the same set of keys.
I also ordered a Magic Trackpad. Will be interesting to see how that goes.
I really like the Logitech ones. The only real advice I can give you is when it
comes to keyboards, cheap refers to both price AND quality, and hence
longevity.

It gets in the way of the normal key-commands

What Kenji advises (set field to Japanese Unicode font) works
on my set up -- Japanese Win2K, Japanese keyboard, Rev 2.9.
By work I mean the inputting not only of Japanese characters
but also of non-alpha-numeric characters, especially shift-key
chars for punctuation, quote marks, brackets, etc.
Hi,
I am unable to use a Japanese keyboard on a Windows machine so I am
wondering if there is anyone else using some kind of localized keyboard on
Windows with success.
Specifically, the Japanese keyboard has keys that change the input method
but with RR they only produce an 'a' or chartonum 65
keyboards, which keyboards do not
support [ or ] as a single keystroke?

layouts for multiple languages? Any other way to better understand the
keys available for our international users?
