Hi Guys, 

 

On the hunt for a keyboard, available in the UK that is smaller in width than a typical tenkeyless keyboard. Looking at a new desk with a keyboard drawer, and I'm looking to save all the space I can.

 

Thanks for your help

Poker 2 or Leopold FC660M, or you could make your own 40% keyboard

 

Thanks! That leopold looks great! Especially that it includes the delete key, which is all I need from the right side of my keyboard :P

Huh, this reminds me of something my art teacher said. He has a friend who uses a type of keyboard that works kind of like Morse code where different patterns and different inputs creates different letters, numbers, etc. that a normal keyboard would do with individual keys. I have no idea what it's called, but I think it looks like a numpad. It might be called a chorded keyboard. Anyway, once you remember the commands, apparently it's as fast or even faster than normal keyboards.

 

This is a chorded keyboard.

You can use shorthand to make quick notes and pass it on to another spy. Quick notes and stuff.

That was a bit subtle...

Is that just all the parts sold ina kit and you hove to assemble it yourself?

Any self respecting nerd can use a soldering iron and read an instruction manual.

Guess I'm not a self respecting nerd then.

EDIT: Also, I wasn't asking because of my ineptitude with a soldering iron, I just wasn't sure how that drop worked.

There's this thing called reading

This keyboard is a kit, it arrives unassembled and you will require a soldering iron to complete construction. Please consult this build guide for instructions on how to make your keyboard.

^That's above the fold too

Stop being a smart ass when you can't read either. If you bothered to look, maybe considering OP lives in UK he needs an ISO layout kb, and that the massdrop doesn't give a ISO plate, you should probably reconsider what you're trying to suggest.

 

Review the Ducky Mini whenever you get it! I haven't payed attention to any Mini reviews.
