Hi Brad, Yeah, I hear you on the downloads, and I'm not sure if I have a volume utility on: www.blind-computing.com I've got so many things there, I tend to lose track. The keyboard I mentioned, isn't angled that I can tell, But seems to be very responsive and very comfortable to type on. Unlike the standard keyboards that come with many computers, the keys are low profile and don't require you to lift your fingers so much to activate them. I do have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, and it is most definitely angled, but right now it won't fit in the keyboard tray at my desk. Sometimes it's not easy to find just the right fit. smile HTH, Rick Justice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Dunsé" <li...@braddunsemusic.com> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2011 1:25 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Volume
Rick, I saw some of those 3rd party ones that allow hot keys, but I didn't want to download any old thing not knowing what other nasties might be with it :). Perhaps a bit paranoid on that but erring caution I guess. I'm looking at a mechanical keyboard, one with much more responsiveness and longer lasting, and unfortunately more expensive. I do like the angled type though, I've got a wireless one like that I'd used.
