Title: Keyboards with close F keys
Post by: Danny356 on Mon, 21 November 2011, 21:00:04

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard with close F1-12 keys. The only ones I've found were noppoo choc mini and the deck keyboard. If anyone knows of other mechanical keyboards with close F keys, please post!

The compaq wont do, by close i meant close to the 1-6 keys. The SIIG minitouch looks good, but the small F keys and ctrl being moved is a killer. =l

Try the Cherry G84 series, like G84-4100.

.. I can't link the picture because the forum platform denies it ..

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am looking for a robust, compact keyboard and I would like it to have large CTRL and SHIFT button and no gap between the F1-F12 keys and the rest of the keys.
After a (long?) search I found the Noppoo Choc Mini in this forum, which looks very good, but I also think the keyboard pitashen posted up here would suit. What brand / model is it?
