I'm constantly hitting the wrong keys on this notebook when I need Home/End, or PgUp/PgDn... but the sad part is that of all the business notebooks that have the features I want them to have, this one has the BEST keyboard. All the others are even crappier.

URGHGHGH....in the "don't get me started" category, now, not only am I constantly--and, brother, I mean, CONSTANTLY--mistyping on the bloody Matias, but I'm mistyping on the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, because the arrow keys, home/end keys, etc., are all in differently places. It's really driving me bats**t.

I wonder why manufactures are always jackassing with the keyboard layouts on notebooks.

No freaking idea. To get people to buy new stuff? The Apple mindset?

Hell, they even jackass around with layouts on desktop keyboards, and that's just plain idiotic.

, sorry. I mean, I'm beating it, not you.

Can you get your hands on a WASD Code keyboard? I have one, with the heaviest clicking switch available (Cherry MX Green), and I like it a lot.

No. I can do a few hours on the laptop (which is straight), but I can't do the hours I do on a straight keyboard, not any longer. These wrists and fingers have been around for a while, kiddo. ;-)
