I don't ask for much, do I?
I just want a keyboard that has keys laid out nice. I think the Microsoft Curve series gets the right mix of 'angled for hands' but without the stupid "ergonomic" split style. ( http://www.google.com/images?q=microsoft%20curve%202000 )
...and I want a keyboard that has decent key mechanicals. Buckling spring looks to be the best of the bunch! :) ( http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/491752-mechanical-keyboard-guide.html )
...oh yes, and I want a keyboard that doesn't waste space and weight on the numpad. I use it... rarely. But not enough to justify it being there ALL THE TIME. ( http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rftenkeyless&pid=rf_se0500 )
...finally, I want a keyboard that has keytop shape of cylindrical (NOT flat chiclet which is horrid), with deeper cylindrical for the FJ home keys (instead of knobbly bits). I have an old Acer (PS2 era, and it has microswitches) with keytops of this style, and it's a fantastic feel. Spherical keytops would be cool too, but unlikely :)
So will someone make one for me? PLEASE? :)
