I'd like to get a tenkeyless or HHKB one for my front yard.  ;)

Looks workable, but the keys might be a bit too "heavy" for me....: )

That's going in my will as my desired headstone for my grave.  ;)

All of them...preferably in a HHKB layout.  Scale the size down a bit...or maybe make it one piece like that keyboard chocolate bar that was posted here a few times.

With iMav spelled in the keys like one of your old avatars?

Yet to be determined.

I think the 'End' key would be fitting for a stele like this (should be 2-3 ft high):

Or 'F5' for people who believe in rebirth.

Or if you were a member of the Heaven's Gate cult.

That's kind of morbid, how about "Home"? For those who believe in Heaven and going to meet their Creator.

Or Pause/Break: "He went so suddenly..."  (this one's for some of the old-schoolers amongst us)

CTRL+ALT+DEL would be good for rebirth as well.  (This one's also a little old school)

Ctrl+C is also a good one for this.

Or Del.

If you use more than one key, emoticons and acronyms are another option:

:-(
WTF
brb

But the stele is more elegant, of course.

I think they are more funny when they are commands, though. :)

Ctrl+C is also a good one for this.

For the record: this key combo forcefully interrupts execution of the current foreground process group by sending it the signal to TERMINATE.

it has the Right backspace/backslash/enter. i approve.

Post by: bhtooefr on Fri, 16 January 2009, 10:38:30

Or Alt-F4 for a suicide works, too.

Edit: Or for a murder.

I am Buddhist and I think the perfect key for that would be a key from a Das II — blank.

Everyone hates a Buddhist. At least we're allowed to jerk off.

Heh...I was thinking, "If they'd omitted the keypad, I'd say that was iMav's back yard!"  Get seriously realistic, plant some ground cover in between the keys and get organic board chow!

I guess a keycap that big and heavy would need a serious spring under it, like a Mac Truck suspension coil?  I'd like to see someone buckle THAT.
