Hi folks,I need to buy a keyboard with a large L shaped enter key and six buttons lined up as insert,home,page up in first row and delete,end,page down on second row.I dont need any funky function keys,I just need it to be comfortable.Where can I buy something like this all the ones I have seen so far has a slim enter button or strange home,end,page-up combos.I'm Toronto so it will be english layout. Thnx.

"i dont need any funky function keys"
Oh well.
But I'll still suggest the Saitek Cyborg Keyboard

[wow] Woah that looks like some kind of spaceship from a low-budget sci-fi movie.
I used to use this one back in Turkey but its enter key is small in english layout.I'll probably go with it and get used to it.I just wonder if there is alternative.

Why do you need an L shaped enter key? Just hit enter with your pinky. :\

L-shaped enter keys are very uncommon with modern keyboards, and only modern keyboards have that six-key grouping above the arrow keys instead of on the numpad. I'm sure they exist, but you'll have trouble finding one that conforms exactly to those specifications. If you can find one that you like except for the six-key layout, keep in mind that you can remap the keys, and pry off and juggle the keytops.

Yea I thought so.Ill stick with the comfort curve with the small enter key and try getting used to the english.At the moment im typing so slow and with so many mistakes that its pathetic.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823174004! At $4.99 and and L-shaped enter key you can't afford not to buy this keyboard.

Since you're in Toronto, I would suggest going to Factory Direct and getting this. There's no picture, but I have that model keyboard and it has what you want. Even though it's cheap, mine still works fine after about five years.

Take your pick. I'm partial to the Industrial keyboard but the Aviator can work, too.

Unfortunately, these don't come with a L-shaped enter key, but you can probably custom-order them.

Edit: My original 1989 Model M used to come with a reverse L-shaped enter key, worth taking a look into.
