Doesn't Ten Key Less mean no numberpad?

Tenkeyless with numpad is indeed a oxymoron ;o
Not sure who's the OEM, but it is not Costar since it is made in China.
Cherry stabilizers, 6kro over USB, small backspace and BIG enter, / ? key in absurd location, construction looks cheap.
This board will definitely drive me nuts if I had to type on it. No thanks.

Tenkeyless keyboard with numpad? That's a little confusing.

Do you mean 80% size with numpad

Lets do some math.
Standard extended keyboard layouts have about 109~112 keys. Time those by 0.8 (80%) you get, say for ANSI (US) layout, about 87 keys. Which is the number of keys you get from Tenkeyless.  That should clarify where the 80% came from. Therefore there is no such thing as 80% with numpad, coz that would end up not being 80%.

 With thermaltake meka, you are rather talking about a standard layout with "compact" form factor in general.

Anyway, compact form can be referred to the pattern of cherry G80-1865.

Approximate 80% size, it does make sense.

if you can provide some numbers with regard to the area reduction of 20% say G80-3000 vs G80-1865. It would be great.

Well, I mean 80% does better describing the size of TT Meka than compact form, since compact form can be regarded as G80-1865 size, which is not small enough to reduce 20% size to standard 104.

Ping is an acronym for Packet INternet Groper.  I'm SERIOUS!


Yep: I use it frequently, too.

ping -c 10 http://www.google.com

'cause if google is down, you have bigger problems than your internet not working. :p

Why don't you get a tenkeyless keyboard (like the CMstorm) and add a tenkey-pad to it? There is a link to some $20 ALPS ones from ebay in the great finds section.

If you want gaming keyboard, you better get meka G1. "Just meka" sucks IMO.
