Compact, but why stop there?

I've only been using it for a few days so my fat fingers still bump on the smaller dance floor but the fact that they don't have to travel that far gets in the way of innate laziness, so it's ok And I like the hardness of the board and the feel of the keys. But why isn't there an on/off switch? Hasn't it occurred to designers that in many possible circumstances having a keyboard that always works would be a bad idea? Let me just suggest one: cats. And I don't even have a cat; I'm just naturally clumsy. I bet the engineers recommended the switch, right? And no caps lock warning light? Okay, I understand the battery life issue. And I know specialized word processors have a little popup in the bottom box (like it pops up), but what about other apps like Gmail or form filling if I want to complain to my congressman? ? But you know what would be even better than a signal light? Make Caps Lock a function of two keys: Shift/Caps Lock. It is natural. I like Logitech. This is my third Logitech keyboard in the last seven years. I have had several Logitech mice but due to my physical condition I now have to use a trackball mouse. I broke my first keyboard because, as I said, I'm naturally clumsy. The second still works perfectly, I just needed something smaller, like in the bathroom or when I'm hiding in the closet. In fact, life was getting boring and I needed something that would challenge me and make me feel alive again, and I figured a keyboard with no power button or caps lock indicator would bring me back from the abyss.

Pros
  • Special offer
