Different key arrangement of keyboard, how do you cope?

I have purchased a new keyboard and did not notice that it had a different layout for the DELETE, INSERT, PG UP, etc..., my old one and the one I use at work is the same so now I am using different layouts for the above mentioned keys which tends to confuse my hand. :mad:

You get used to it after a while.

I am used to the following keyboard layouts: Japanese, Uk, Us... They all have weird layouts! The only way to get used to them is to use them often and learning from your mistakes :P

I was nearly sure I seen a keyboard where all the keys are macro's that can be changed. The buttons where little lcd's so you could change what they had written on them. Very expensive though!

You're thinking of art lebedev's optimus maximus keyboard (AKA the most expensive keyboard in the world)

As mendhack noted, after you delete a few things by mistake, you get used to it... I don't know whose idea it was to make the Delete button the largest one of the bunch but I'd like to pop them in the shnoz for that.

I lub that optimus keyboard.

Yeah! I think the price is reasonable too :)
