Title: I want this in a keyboard, tell me what to buy.
Post by: G.A.Pster on Sat, 23 August 2008, 01:04:28

I was looking for a left handed keyboard so I could use the arrow keys to scroll through pages, but all of them are extremely expensive and have stupidly shaped enter buttons and or a small backspace button.
I gave up, and then I saw that there are Keyboards with built in scroll wheels!
I figured I’d ask you experts, before searching through the hundreds of different ones.

Here are my criteria:

Regular shaped enter key (not one of those weird shaped ones)
Regular keys (not slim ones like on a laptop)
Regular layout (not weird split ergonomic)
A numpad, and all the F keys

Scroll wheel (or a ball would be even better), right and left mouse buttons if such an animal exists,

As many extra buttons as I can get.

Thanks. :)

How about getting one of those laptop numpads, turning numlock off on it, and using it for its arrow keys? Then, use whatever keyboard you want.

It says 20 million cycles, so it's not blacks...

That's Alps, I think white or the same kind as in my MK96, which feel just like real whites.
