Elecom's new TK-FCP004 ultra-slim keyboard is minimalism at its finest

Pining for a numeric keypad, which Apple has so unceremoniously discarded, but can't bring yourself to pick the numeric version off a list? Do you have other personality problems, but appreciate good design? Do you live in Japan? Then Elecom's got just the thing for you, the new TK-FCP004 series ultra-slim keyboards. Rising a mere 0.57-inches off the ground, and sporting incredibly minimal aesthetics, we'd say Elecom has hit a real nerve here. The keyboard comes in silver, white or black, and hits Japan mid-October for 5040 yen after tax (about $50 US).

This is for use only in japan.Japanese style keybord has many unique keys thas very huge enterkey and small space bar is a typical japanese keybord's characteristic point, so these like blames are completely nonsense.

tiny keys, ridiculous enter key, horrible ergonomics? what a hideous, absolute abortion of a keyboard.

Not all of us are bean counters! chop off the numeric keypad. What a waste of desk space.
