+1 The worst is the enter key that's two rows high and then a single key sized backspace with \ to its left. Blech.
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:jra...@eaglemds.com] 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.
