Hi,

I'm trying to find an 'island-style' keyboard to use with the lappy, as I've used one on a different system and I quite like the feel of them.

I can't, for the life of me find anywhere that sells them. I've googled but can't seem to find any relevant shopping results.

Anyone got any suggestions for sites that sell them?

Ahhh - I tried that last night to no avail.

I do appreciate your looking into this for me though.

Can you try it in another PC? Preferably pre-W7.

At least that could/would show if it's s/w or h/w...

Also - I guess we can assume your previous keyboard is fine with your PC?

Tried the keyboard on an XP netbook and the keys worked.

I have my lappy connected to a Port ergo station. I originally had the keyboard plugged into one of the Ergo's USB ports. I switched to a USB port on the lappy, and Windows reinstalled the keyboard drivers and it now works as expected. So why did the keyboard work at all - albeit limited from the Ergo - if it didn't recognise the Windows keys? Strange.
