      It's cool, but I just can't use a keyboard like that. I need a full keyboard, with a numeric keypad because my brain can't deal with that inverted T for cursor/paging/home/end, etc. Never has, never will. Maybe if I were a 3-toed sloth I would feel more comfortable with the finger cramping that results.

        Do you also keep hitting the key above the Enter, expecting it to be one of the old large L-shaped keys?

            I do and it is a PITA X| X|

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                Well, who can complain about going back to the case/keyboard simplicity of the 8 bit home computer world, but I hope they'll be doing a fully size keyboard version soon.

                  It would be easy to do your own. All you have to do is 3d-print a keyboard dock, and maybe solder in a shorter, more flexible cable on the keyboard itself. You can also use an 8gb pi and a better cooling solution at that point.
