Top 10: Best laptop keyboard

Dee One Systems was selling them new surprisingly recently, I *almost* love mine but I've got two main complaints: - why is the autorepeat so fast? if you lean on Del by accident you delete half your file, it repeats much faster than the actual rate you program it for - I wish the "=" keypad key sent a different scan code from the one on the main keyboard, so I could use it to do an *exact* emulation of the VT100 keypad, but it seems there's no way to tell them apart I really like the keyboard otherwise though -- the best of both worlds, it has all the keys (I'm talking about the Omnikey 102 here), but the function keys are on the left as god intended, and the Ctrl key is where it belongs too. Really hated to have to retrain my fingers after all that time using good ol' well-made 83/84-key keyboards. I like the *feel* of Focus keyboards, but they just don't last. They've been around long enough that they only recently dropped the XT/AT mode switch, but they don't seem to have survived the transition to PS/2 connectors, and certainly not USB, oh well so much for that. Anyway IMHO nothing will ever beat the feel and layout of the DEC VT100 keyboard! Or whichever 8-bit luggable cloned it (Kaypro?). John Wilson D Bit
