I quite agree. I have enough difficulty adjusting to the miniature keys on a
laptop.

At one previous employer, I remember a few supposedly ergonomic keyboards
which were QWERTY, but split in the middle into two halves at an angle. I
found these keyboards impossible to use. The guys that had adapted to these
keyboards soon regretted it, as they were stuck if they had to use anyone
else's machine, or if the keyboard ended its useful life. I think that there
is a pile of a half dozen of these weird keyboards gathering dust in a
cupboard in this company.

I am also looking to track down a contrasty PC keyboard - black keys
labelled in white, or white keys labelled in black (as opposed to dark brown
keys labelled in light brown). Any ideas?

Ivor.
