[CQ-Contest] Keyboards - ZC4Li

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

FWIW, I just got a new Dell and was disappointed to discover that the 
keyboard that came with it was more like that on a laptop, with tiny 
function keys and alphanumeric keytops very close together.  I jumped on 
e-bay and discovered a flock of last-generation Dell keyboards that have 
well-separated keys and normal-size Fkeys.  The nomenclature is SK-8115 
or L100, and they only cost around $25. They're also a bit smaller than 
standard, but still have the numeric keypad which I remap with various 
useful functions.


I like the keyboard very much because its keys have long travel and, 
like you, I tend to hammer. Of course shipping to ZC4 may be another 
matter, but it is worth the cautionary note, and maybe a try.

73, Pete N4ZR
