I recently bought a new keyboard, it's the one that comes with the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800, and I hate it. First off, there is no space between the letters and the arrows and the number pad. The F keys are all half sized and they are not grouped in sets of 4 like I thought most keyboards were. I knew both of these things before I purchased the set and I didn't think such small changes would be a problem, but I just can't stand them. I've been to best buy and office depot to look for a replacement, but I just can't find a keyboard that has all of the things I want. I looked online and found some that have what I want but I'd rather not buy one without actually being able to touch it or without some recommendations.
Here's what I'm looking for:
1. F keys are grouped 4-4-4 with space in between and are full sized.
2. There is space in between the letters and arrows and number pad.
3. If the F keys have alternate functions (volume, brightness, etc.) I should not have to hit a special key to get the F key to work.
4. There must be an application key. I don't use it often, but I like it and a lot of keyboards I looked at have removed or replaced it.
5. Firm keys.
6. No funky shapes, screens and I don't care about multimedia buttons.
So, I want to know what keyboard you use and why you like it and perhaps someone could even point me to a good one.
