small keyboard

terra_ferma

I need a small (but perfectly formed..) keyboard.
basically a standard keyboard without the number pad, not a laptop style keyboard.
I've looked at the MS Arc, which seems fine but a bit expensive, and also doesn't seem too functional (I need it for work, pretty is not a priority. No media or gaming, and not much typing).

Anyone knows of one? Thanks!

Why ? seems a fair comment.

Looks like something is missing...
Did someone delete a post, or did you post on the wrong thread?

Niche market, and expensive for the good ones, I used to sell stax of them but stopped when only a few importers bothered getting them and the price went bananas. Look for mini keyboard, and avoid the word replacement keyboard. BTW make sure they have the UK characters - many do not.

The last one I showed was the one I used to stock, they have no ' key click ' but will take some hammer, and are lasting for the money.

I've done some searches and I either found tiny mobile ones, or as you say expensive ones. I'm surprised to hear it's a niche market, it must be one of those things that nobody has thought about.
I would have thought most people don't really use the number pad (for surfing, gaming etc), also the pad is not user friendly as nowadays it would make more sense to have it the other way round, like mobile phones (except for accountant etc I expect).
Sounds like I will have to reconsider the Arc, or keep what I have.

free4440273, not UK mate, and most times you can't get em to accept a £ sign, if its a UK Market product maybe the hash sign gives a £ ? It never ceases to amaze me that they silk screen the English writing but never put in the £ sign for the UK market.

BTW the Keyb & Mouse both work on rechargeable [ AAA ] batteries as well as USB
