That keyboard has a totally-FSCKed layout. THREE enter keys, instead of the traditional DELETE key as part of the six-pack? What were they thinking???

Edit: Thanks for posting, looks like a good deal. Just that this keyboard design isn't for me.

That's probably just a faulty picture they used... I'm certain that there isn't a Enter where the Delete should be in that 6 pack on the actual product.

It's definitely not like that on the G710+. Here's a picture of the cluster from a tweaktown review:

I have the 710+ , it is a very solid keyboard. It definitely has the normal 2 enter keys.

I have this keyboard and it only has 2 enter keys. One with the normal keys and and one with the number keys.

Just checked and it seems all the promotional material does have the DEL replaced with ENTER, both on the website images as well as on the actual item box. But the KB itself does have the DEL vice ENTER key.

I snagged one of these to replace my ancient keyboard that started sending double keystrokes on number 5. That thing served me well for at least 15 years. Main thing I'm not sure about on this is the pointless extra width.

That keyboard is 20 inches long which is 2 inches too long for normal use.
Because I use small Z rail table that extra 2 inches may force me to extend my keyboard mouse shelf with a small sheet of stainless that I have used in the past for more length for the mouse and pad or speed up the mouse etc.

The width is also my main complaint. Then again I have always needed to arrange my keyboards like in the picture. My slide out is 23" including the metal rail. I really need more room to game with my mouse but I manage. One day I may get a wider, removable thin board to lay on top of the slide out. The grey material under is the keyboard is rubber shelf liner to help keep the keyboard from sliding around.

I thought my slide out at 26+ inches was tight wow 23.
I should have kept the large desks I used for years instead of buying two Z tables which are just too small for most stuff.

26" to 28" would be much better for me since the arms of my chair are 22" center to center. That would allow my left arm to align with the WASD keys while resting on the chair arm and still have room for the rest of the keyboard on the left. If that makes sense.

I just checked and my slide out is 28" so I might be alright. The original slide out I couldn't fit my regular size keyboard and mouse on it. I don't know what nut thinks some one wants a keyboard and mouse at different levels on their desk. I'd gotten by using an old IBM keyboard with a slightly compressed layout.
