The idea of a smaller keyboard is in the best intentions, but unless you stricktly use *nix you would be loosing half the functionality of a normal (not gigantic) keyboard.

When i bought my Dell, it came with a keyboard that worked fine, but had the extra buttons. I never figured out how to program the buttons after I switched to Windows XP, so I got an old keyboard that my school was going to throw away. I had been using a similar keyboard for about 2 years, and I liked the layout, and the size of the keys. The keys are only about 3/4 the depth of any other keyboard I've seen.

I agree that a smaller foot-print keyboard is a great idea, but eliminating several essential keys and loosing functioality isn't worth it. I do however like the fact that the "Happy Hacking" keyboards do not have large useless plastic frames. Many keyboards have 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of plastic around the outside of the keyboard that is totally useless, and wastes space.

Good find roswell1329, and it's a step in the right direction in terms of the perfect keyboard, but far from a happy median.
