I still don't like this small version of a keyboard.  I like the size of
the old Dell Quietkey from my old rig.  It's old, PS/2 and all but it
fits my fingers better.  I can't find a reasonably priced replacement. 
They all seem to be smaller.  How does one type on these little
things???  I get lots of typos.

Well the obvious question is then, why did you buy a small keyboard? :o)
Those key sizes are standardised. AFAIK the stardard key raster is 19 mm per 
single-width key. So unless you chose a specifically down-scaled product, it 
should be the same size as it’s ever been. What did you buy anyways?

Well, there's something different because it "feels" different. I keep hitting keys to one side or the other mostly. The only difference I can see, the key caps are shorter than the old Dell QuietKey. I suspect the key caps are twice as tall on the old Dell. Also, the old Dell had more travel for each key press too. I've used that old thing for over 20 years. My old brain can't learn new tricks. ROFL

I been looking for a keyboard that is like the old Dell QuietKey but they either ridiculously expensive or are old Dell keyboards with the PS/2 connector like I already have. Thought about buying a adapter so I can use the old Dell. That would fix the problem.

Now that I've proofed this thing half a dozen times and corrected a bunch of typos, let's hit send. LOL If I was a book writer, forget about it. I'd retire. o_-
