I have one of these for my waterjet. Yes, the typing is awkward and strange, it is harder to feel those buttons, so typing while looking at screen leads to many mistakes. OTOH that is for machine tool. Only typing I have done on that keyboard is either some HAL/INI files or messages to this mailing list. And that little keyboard can really withstand all the dust and moisture there is in the air next to waterjet... BTW, Gene, for the issue of keeping such a keyboard flat - I have it glued to the top of control cabinet to hold it in place and that also helps on keeping it flat. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
