So the Apple has a new keyboard with a better design. And the
Optimus(?:!) Keyboard is still a pipe dream that will probably sell for
5000 USD because if all those LEDS.
What I really want in a LAPTOP keyboard is:
1. Coolness. I don't want it to heat up like in this Compaq Nc6400. My
finger tips are heating up because the keys are HOT too!. So is the
touch pad.
2. Obvious colored keycaps or indicators for functions like PRINTSCREEN
- which on this nc6400 takes 3 keys - that I had to put little POST IT
cut outs beside the keys because I don't have to remember w/c keys to
press to invoke a "PRINT SCREEN THIS WINDOW ONLY" function.
3. A LARGE ENTER button like in the old IBM 8086 XT Keyboards. I don't
need a wide |\ (pipe) key. I use the ENTER key more often.
4. A way to create ANY APPLICATION shortcuts using the Function keys.
They're mostly useless in most applications - would be great if the
keyboard can shoot macro (multiple) commands to the cheap program so
that F2 would perform a "down down enter end" key sequence for example.
I know there's software for this - but how about something embedded unto
the keyboard software so it works in ANY program that doesn't use the
Function keys.
5. How about making it detachable and wireless? On the bed computing
will be possible and while we're at it - make the trackpad detachable
and wireless too!
