Toshiba netbook chiclet keyboards: hated by everyone.
I am very happy with my Toshiba netbook, except for the chiclet
keyboard. Not only is it a poor feel, its the first keyboard I've
used in a long time that actually loses my keystrokes.

and yet, it was the chiklets shaped keys that
people actually
objected to.
Commodore PET 2001 chiclet keyboard: hated by everyone, replaced with
normal keys on later models.
TRS-80 Color Computer chiclet keyboard: hated by everyone, replaced
with normal keys on later models.
TI-99/4 chiclet keyboard: hated by everyone, replaced with normal keys
on later 99/4A model.
IBM PCjr chiclet keyboard: hated by everyone, replaced with normal keys
on replacement keyboard
Apple chiclet keyboards: loved by all the Apple fanboys. Not only have
they not been replaced with normal keys on later models, but now other
notebook vendors have copied them!
Bletch!
