[GLLUG] OT: Keyboards

[Basher584]

I was just looking for a smaller keyboard (because my fingers travel to much to hit the Fn-keys, and use them all the time since I remapped !->F1 @->F2, etc.)

Looks like these people are the manufacturer:

Small spacebar but a bonus of multimedia keys, USB hub, and you can reprogram the keys.

Couldn't find any more information on this one:

Still haven't purchased either of them though.
