no offense but I really don't see a point in the design of this thing =/

I think for the people that would even care about buying a quality keyboard would rather type the url (if lets say those keys were hotkeys) because getting there is half the fun =)

It is not for quicker homepage access to Shell Oil.

The designer used brands that start with the same letter as the key they sit on. So Shell for S or zippo for Z. It is based on the thought that logos are easier recognized than letters because of the amount of exposure they have.

That sure would drive me nuts, if I had to actually look at the keys

Ah you managed to quote my post before I could delete it. :smile:

In fact it is supposed to have that homepage access watduzhkstand4 mentioned, using the 'www' key.

That keyboard looks wierd. Personally, I prefer the QWERTY layout to the Amazon Wikipedia Ebay layout.

I like the enter key on it though. No accidentally hitting the \ key at the end of a line again.
