Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Fry's sale on Logitech keyboard
I, too, disliked it when the transition to AT-style keyboards, with all of the function keys along the top, was made. Unfortunately, after a while, my old original keyboard, and my wife's, gave out and we had to adjust. My first professional programming jobs involved using the good-old IBM 3278 terminals. However, failing to turn off the tactile click was not a good way to make friends in a programming shop. It also was the mark of a newbie. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 4/28/2014 5:44 PM, Phil Kane wrote: That's a nice keyboard, but my fingers and brain demand one with the F-keys on the left side, the Ctrl and Alt keys straddling the left-side Shift key, and the keys make very tactile clicks - like God and IBM meant them to be.
