There's another HHK version with small cursor keys at the bottom right, but I think it is an older version and it's key press quality is far from this one's. Either way maybe I'm just not l33t enough but this keyboard is now an expensive shelf decoration for me!

I doubt it'll ever happen. On a similar note, I just read that there is a movement to get rid of the CAPS LOCK key alltogether from traditional keyboard layouts … not sure how I feel about that.

Otherwise I wouldn"t mind that too much, I"m still fighting getting used to the reduced key layout! ;) One minus thing ... one can set the left Win/Apple key to be a second Fn key which is good but one cannot change the behavior of the right Win/Apple key and I never ever use the Win Key to display the startmenu (something that I never used or needed) and this key is pretty much wasted because it cant be changed. It would have been useful if it could be changed to a second Control key! Scott … probably, if you used this keyboard for a loong time.

I've often thought of getting one of these, but what happens when you are forced to another machine without it? You'll probably end up banging non-existant key combos right?
