Post by: Twitchy on Wed, 09 February 2011, 17:09:27: Yeah, you're right. I was just hoping for a photo that'd better show the condition of the keyboard. Still, it was my friend's phone and the quality's far better than I could've taken with mine. If the keyboard's unsold by the weekend I can borrow a camera and post something better.

That enter key is absurd.

it looks like an iso enter key.

what's really absurd is the disparity between shift keys in iso layout ;)

Post by: Twitchy on Thu, 10 February 2011, 08:15:50: I agree. As far as I can see the biggest difference is having to reach a little further to hit return, not such a big deal.

If yes, I'll jump on the occasion !

Post by: Twitchy on Fri, 11 February 2011, 05:16:03: Yes, I can ship to France. But the extra cost of delivery (tracked and insured) means that I'd like £85 total. Please PM me your details if you still want it.

I like the large enter keys.
But then the ones I started with had Transmit/CR-LF on them.

So they had to be bigger :)
