The feel of a : > Logitech keyboard is pretty sweet. : : Hey, you can still buy a Sun Type 6 USB Keyboard with UNIX Layout : (note US Layout is different from UNIX Layout), where escape, : backspace and control have strange locations :) Happy Hacking Keyboard is to die for. It is the one true keyboard layout and all this PC, Johnny-come-lately crowd who F*D up a perfectly good keyboard layout can rot in h*** for all I care. The USB version even has two additional USB slots: mouse and memory card or cell phone work well there :-). Of course, the HHK is just a Sun Type 3 keyboard, with an inverted T arrows added. Sweet feedback on the keys, and really worth the price of a ticket to Japan to pick it up at PlatHome in Akihabara :-). WarnerReceived on Tue Sep 28 2004 - 02:51:07 UTC
