that's right, i caved, and bought a NEW new keyboard. (naturally, the jackass in the shop wouldn't let me return the old new keyboard : "well... you already took it out of the box... but here, i'll give you a discount on this one : 10 euros instead of 15." jackass.) (<-- token rant). it's not IDENTICAL TO my old old one, but the arrow keys are back where they belong, as are the delete / home / end keys, the backspace key is easily accessible, the Function keys are divided into groups of 4 the way god intended, and the f key seems perfectly responsive (as do all the others, so far).
naturally, it is beige and not very attractive. and, ironically for someone who is tempted by Das Keyboard, this one also has helpfully labelled a few common shortcuts on the front of the keys : a little diamond "♦" on the ctrl key, and then "♦ Couper" on the front of the x key, "♦ Rech" on the front of the f key, "♦ Annuler" on the front of the z key... what do they take me for, some kind of novice ? pfff, please.
so, who wants a (stylie but crappy) keyboard ? while it does technically function (if you hit it hard enough...), it certainly does not provide an optimal typing experience... actually i may not give it away, but instead give myself the satisfaction of taking it outside, flinging it with great force onto the paving stones, and then jumping up and down on it until it is no longer recognizeable as the keyboard it masqueraded as.
