and what really bugs me is all those unnecessary keys eating up the space from spacebar. FN key should stay in laptops and what are the other ones again? oh and the right shift is just downright minimal.

other than that, it looks pretty good.]]>Mar 4th 2009 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/]]>Mar 7th 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/Mar 4th 2009 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/
It's also not the british version because their currency symbol is missing.

In other words, this keyboard is likely to be sold in the U.S. but I for one won't be buying.

Minimalist keyboard with over-sized Enter key is just lame.]]>Mar 4th 2009 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/elecoms-new-tk-fcp004-ultra-slim-keyboard-is-minimalism-at-its/

2) despite this it looks crap anyway. notice that the vital arrow keys are crunched in with the normal keyboard layout, and doubled up with Home etc. Also a bit of height on a keyboard makes it nicer to type on in my experience...

I get the PGDN/UP/DEL/INS Keys above the Arrow keys like I'm used to.

I hear the new version does away with these along with the number pad though, so I guess I need to stock up on replacements. Damn Steve Jobs and his hatred of buttons!

Actually that's a good question, do the Apple keyboards (built into laptops and on their own) have the language switcher key in Japan? I've never bothered to take a look.

Or I could just stick to my 1997 Cherry MX 3000, purchased for $2 from my local second-hand store, which likely outdoes this by a very large margin as far as key action goes.
