Hey dats!

..keyboard

Anyone know of a manufacturer that makes normal sized keyboards without the numpad? or possibly even retailers for such.

The Sidewinder X6 comes to my mind but it has all sorts of unneeded extra crap. The wrist rest for example doesn’t seem to be detachable. Guess the extra buttons on top and left wouldn’t really matter.

Here’s a photoshop of the perfect keyboard:

Don’t think so.
I don’t count that as full size tho, don’t mind the arrow keys/pgup/pgdown etc. being next to each other like that but can’t tolerate the enter key being like that! :p

Nymthae: that’s not standard size either :/

Hey dats!

Think I saw someone use that at a LAN, was it compton?
As a cellar dwelling geek, I use the desktop computer a lot and don’t really want to get the laptop feel that the apple keyboard seems to offer.
I’m after a very simple(STANDARD) keyboard without the numpad, google can only take me so far so I turn to you guys.

It’s important that all the keys are normal sized, especially the enter key.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Seems grand for some -97 freeware multiplayer games but it still has the numpad! :<

Cant believe its that hard to find a simple keyboard without a numpad. I mean, if even google doesnt find one…

I wonder if this thing also works for the PC:

Works with USB so there might be a chance – wireless though.

edit nvm
