heh.. yeah the Gamesoc guys were amused by it as well :)

I did notice this though

"The keyboard also features three Windows application keys."

but how do you know which ones they are?

hmm, my keyboard is heading that way.
but that's just 'cos it was a cheap keyboard with transfered on keycaps.

It's a no-nonsense keyboard with keys in the proper place and properly weighted. Also no letters makes it easier to change to another layout like Dvorak. Nice!

The only thing I don't like about it is the price. I could buy a much cheaper keyboard and scratch off the paint, to much the same effect.

That had occured to me too. Not as stylish though.

smirk.

this is how we learnt to touch type at school. We got to paint out the keys. Definitely worked.

but if the keyboard is for computer geeks then the odds are they'll be using some flavour of linux... so i wonder if they'll get allergic reactions when they accidentally hit the windows key :)

The keyboard is cool, though couldn't the same effect be had more cheaply by rubbing out the letters on a normal one? Half the keyboards in the copy taking dept. I work in don't have the letters showing through long use and sharp fingernails.

Wonder if it can be set to Dvorak as well as QWERTY. That would even more l33t
