There are a few more pictures at KBC.  From what I can tell, they are still in the planning, asking for opinions stage.  It is not in production at all.  The name: KBC 40%.  because its 40% of the size of a full grown keyboard.  There are some questions about copy right and stuff from "foreigners".  I will try to give some input to them.  Is there anything you can suggest to make it better?

I am sending in my Boffins now.  Details later :)

Or maybe 40% of ever becoming a real product. :)  Seems there's a number of interesting boards announced but continual delays or cancellations.  I want to see some real boards!

Ok, don't take that the wrong way, I'm not really complaining - please continue posting any information you have on these products in planning and development.  Better I suppose they take their time and get it right than rush it and make something sub-standard.

Needs inverted T arrow keys.


No, please no inverted T's.  That would absolutely kill it for me.  I hate that keyboard clutter down in the lower right.  There's too many keys already for my right pinky.  If you only give the arrows, then what about the Page Up, Page Down, Home, End?  I use those in conjunction with the arrows.  They must be available in the same general area via the same method.  Putting only the arrows but leaving the other cursor keys off is nonsense to me.  There's too many mini keyboards already that muck it up by adding too many keys.  We need one like it is which has minimal keys.

Of course that's all just my personal preferences and I respect other people's opinions.  And if nobody's gonna make a mini the way I want it, I'll just have to make my own.

Keys are keys. Making a keyboard that requires drivers in order to even work properly is about the most asinine thing I've ever seen. It's a damn keyboard, it shouldn't need drivers - the USB HID spec is there for a reason.

See every keyboard ever made that does not have BS 'multimedia keys' for reference.
