Major Fubar 0 Posted September 2, 2002 Can anyone tell me if this exists: A PC keybpard with everything that is normally to the right of the F12/backspace/enter/shift/ctrl keys on the left of the keyboard, instead of the right? I've looked on the web, without success. The reason, of course, is so I could use my mouse with my right hand and the arrows keys/number pad with my left...

WhoCares 0 Posted September 2, 2002 I think, there are keyboards with detachable NUM-Pad available, but this does not include the cursor keys. Maybe that's an option... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Die Alive 0 Posted September 2, 2002 Yikes $139 US Dollars / € 150.50, thats kinda pricy for a keyboard. The keyboard I'm using now I had since 1997 and cost about $20 -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Fubar 0 Posted September 5, 2002 Because I f**king hate WSAD bulls**t! I like to use ARROW keys, they are better spaced and laid out than WSAD. When you are a 6'4'', 300 lb monster like me with big fingers, it is a royal pain in the ass. Also, youve got the handy insert, home, pg up, pg down etc. keys right above 'em...

promethius 0 Posted September 10, 2002 Yeah.....they can get a bit annoying you can easily hit buttons that you don't mean to. I take your point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John C Flett 0 Posted September 12, 2002 If Avon is granting wishes today... How about a backlit keyboard for those night time missons or games of 'Thief' when a light in the room just reflects off the screen and destroys your night vision? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hitting FN+PgUp turned it on and off. It was brilliant! I miss it on my Dell C840 now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted September 13, 2002 I had one of those as well the only trouble was that the mouse was one of those "G-points". I really hate them... touchpads are alot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever try playing OFP with a touchpad? Feh! With a stick, I easily control turning left/right/up/down and firing/scope/binocs/etc. with my left hand, while controlling the arrow keys for movement with my right.
