    Can anyone here spell Logitech?

    Keys where you expect them to be, and a F-Lock button that has the right default.

    Let's face it, Microsoft have trouble getting software right and they can change that in seconds. You expect them to get hardware right?

    Thanks Chewy !

    Thats a pic of the keyboard layout I am talking about. Except mine is all black.

    As I said the key touch is lovely, I find I make less typos on this keyboard its just those damn Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys that annoy me and that damn F-Lock key.

    Regards

    Just learn and get used to how keyboards are layed out now, it's not that difficult at all once you get used to it...

    Eh?
    I've already learned how they're laid out, thanks.

    Microsoft are the only company pissing around with layouts AFAIK, and it would appear no-one likes it. Even a (not very computer savvy) workmate is fed up with hitting the wrong keys on the M$ k/b he's been issued.

    It looks like you are the only one that likes the layout.

    I note that you are 16 - well I am 56 and have been selling and using computers since 1984 and I can tell you that it is very hard to get used to a new layout. I continually hit the wrong keys.

    And also it is not "how keyboards are layed out now (laid out now ?) its how Microsoft decided to do it to save width on their keyboards. Most other keyboards I see have the traditional layout !

    Don't be a bunch of pussies, go get a flat screwdriver and anykeys you don't want you just snap off, haven't had caps lock on a keyboard in years, and you can get that flock off too, sorry it doesn't work for that pg down problem, but whatever.

    Surely you've worked out how to fix that with a hammer and hacksaw?

    Edit: Just noticed, Digby is older than I am. Woo-hoo.
