Thinkpad USB keyboard
Posted on Saturday, 17 October 2009
Yesterday I took delivery of a new Thinkpad USB keyboard because I've started putting my laptop up on a stand to be next to it's external monitor.
In so doing I needed a keyboard and the ten quid Logitech was making me very sad, hence the Thinkpad one.
If you've ever typed on a thinkpad you immediately know why this keyboard is awesome :)
What's with that big fat delete key? And "ugh" at the back/forward buttons near the arrow keys.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm nit picking because I'm envious :)
Alan: yeah the del key is a bit odd, but the big Esc is excellent for vim!
ReplyDeleteNever used the back/forward buttons on my othe r thinkpads, they're not mapped by default ;)
After a few days I can now say that I do like the Del key being so easily poked :)
ReplyDeleteThe most infuriating thing about this keyboard is the Fn button in the bottom left corner. Why???
ReplyDeleteHow much was the standalone keyboard?
ReplyDeleteThe Thinkpad USB keyboard is really great. I love typing on it because the keypads are so soft and it won't hurt your fingers.
