my keybd is about 9 years old. if you removed the keys, you could prob make a meal from the food in it. its starting to flake out. its a cheap 'PC Concepts' model that is a natural keyboard. it doesnt have all the 'internet buttons' on the top and the arrow keys and insert/del/home/end/pgup/pddown group are all standard.

it annoys me that msft et al changed the layout on some of these keys in their current versions. i just want a simple natural keyboard with standard key layout. no need for the fancy buttons on the top.

any suggestions?

I have MS Natural Pro KB's for all of my PC's, except the HTPC. I think it's a great KB and has all the keys in the right places. It's a little hard to get right now since it has been discontinued.

the designer should be shot. they resized and changed the arrow key and insert/del key layout.

i might have to go with that logitech. at least it has sep insert and delete keys even though they farked up the alignment.
ive nvr used the wireless setup. i'm not a fan of battery swapping. plus how do those work with online gaming? is there any lag?

No, this KB is what I mean. The one that you show in your link is called the MS Natural KB Elite. The one in my link is the MS Natural KB Pro.

ahhh, thats the one i want!!! many thanks.
i'll buy three if i can find a decent vendor.
