# yes it does look!
1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 0

unless you have a keyboard with every number on it

# hell no
i'm a student, the only time i operate a till it's touch screen

i just prefer using the numerical keypad (better for you too, less likely to cause carpal tunnel)

# I dunno about better for you
depends what I'm doing really

I find I only really use the numpad when using excel or something like that

but I'm a touch typist anyway so in general typing the number keys at the top come to me more naturally and quicker

# also gives you tennis elbow
i touch type too, mostly, but if i'm writing out pins, phone numbers etc i use the numpad

# i have no use for the number buttons
but i want a keyboard without them but the return button in the right place, one like this would confuse me.

# actually I have a need of a keyboard or two that's this size
so I shall obtain one at some special moment

# if you find one that doesn't have all its buttons jumbled up
let me know where it is.

# buttons? jumbled?
so far I've found one that has keyboard style keys (as I just can't use the laptop flat style at any speed and they give me a headache)

but it doesn't look amazing but I'll probably get it, £16 I think

this looks about best from my perspective, they have other ones that look more pretty and I've seen a few at dabs and all that, but this seems best for me

don't know what the company is like, haven't used them, but they have a picture of a catcat on their website so they may be fluffy

# this looks more like it, enter/return key looks like it's where it should be
not only do they have cats but they're in the same part of the world as me, north herts.

# cool
that means if they rip you off, you can steal all their stock and burn their shop down

:D
