Any decent keyboard without numeric pad?

[Ulysees]

Full-size keyboards take too much space when you're on a small desk. But a minimal keyboard that I got turned out to be cap, I ended up making more typos and was unable to type fast.

So does anyone know of a decent small-size keyboard? With standard-depth, decent keys like those of a normal keyboard, that too many of those mini keyboards are missing?

Never tried one, but they look OK

I use one very similair to this (http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=W9828-BLK&cat=KYB ) it still has the windows hot key but is about the size of a laptop keyboard.
I bought it for a crowded server room but it's great on a desk.

Thanks.

Does yours feel like a normal keyboard, mgb_phys?

The one I use is the Kinesis Classic QD, now replaced by the Kinesis Advantage. Highly recommended, but unusual and takes some getting use to. You can find lightly used ones on eBay:

IBM made one called the Model M spacesaver. I am looking for one right now for my partner. They seem to be highly valued and highly scarce.

I have one of these:

It has a numpad, but it omits the middle area where the Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, and arrow keys are (it relocates these keys to a 3x2 space below the Enter key). It's got a low profile, and is very quiet. Comfortable to type on.

If you want something smaller, they also make this:

which also omits the numpad (so it is basically a laptop keyboard).

This is what I use: HP Mini Keyboard USB. It's fullsize without the numeric pad

I made my own keyboard. And it is what you need. Is very easy make it.

You will need 1 hour only to make.
