    Maybe he means the RETURN (<-') key.

    Anyway - I've never found the MS Natural KB very 'natural'. Bought one years ago, stuggled with it for 3 weeks, then threw the fecker out.

      Yes I meant RETURN key, which is same as enter because you get key called ENTER on keypad and it always sends the same code as this "return" key.

      I now had to go back to bog standard keyboard that was developed for 286 AT, and its complete tulipe

          On PCs yes - but on other systems RETURN != ENTER. Not that it matters much nowadays (BM in old fart mode).

            It does listings too...

            I learned how to program (ALGOL 68) on one of those TTYs. Splicing paper tape and shredding it through the UNIVACs 'high-speed' tape reader.

              You guys are just a bunch of old farts.

              threaded.

                    Bought on ebay exactly the same - the image supplied by Microsoft was showing WRONGly sized ENTER button as confirmed by the seller, idiots - this kind of stuff is very important, its ERGONOMIC keyboard for Chico's Boss's sake!
