The blackbox QL has big bold characters in the centres of the keytops, just like a typewriter. With a keyboard interface a PC type keyboard a few extra features are available but the small size of the characters and their placement in the top left hand corner of the key lead me to a large proportion of typo errors and I have often wished to find a keyboard like the QL's. Almost fulfilled this wish with a "Standard keyboard", black, from Tesco for 3 quid. The letters are not much bigger than those on PC keyboards but they are more visible, white on black instead of grey on ivory. It has a PS2 plug but works fine with an adapter to the 5 pin DIN plug required by my interface. It is certainly an improvement and pleasant to use with either QL or PC. Tomorrow I shall buy another and improve my typing in both.
