> No multimedia keys (because really -- they're a pain in the rear)
While I completely agree about pointless "launch browser" buttons, I find the basic multimedia keys to be quite essential. It's a royal pain when one has to waggle mouse for a whole second or use tricky global shortcut keys around when there's a need to quickly mute music or change volume.
- darklajid 13y agoMaybe I have a different understanding of 'multimedia keys', but both you, your parent and the reviewer seem to think that there are none on the keyboard in question. That's weird, since it _does_ have them (or some of them? No idea what would be missing here, I don't even use these). That's puts the review into a weird kind of light as well: It has its facts wrong in the first paragraph.. http://codekeyboards.com/img/code-mediakeys.jpg http://codekeyboards.com/img/code-mediakeys.jpg
- drdaeman 13y agoNo, I was thinking about the same keys. I didn't notice them from the first glance and believed the comment I've replied to, that there aren't any. Sorry about that.
- webignition 13y agoI find it interesting that you say this since it's quite opposite to my needs and usage. I find multimedia keys to be an annoyance. I only press a multimedia key by mistake when intending to hit a different key or when trying to rest the fingers of my right hand above the cursor keys (I'm left-handed and often rest my right-hand fingers when using only the mouse). I'm not suggesting your view is incorrect or wrong in any way. Just interesting to see how one person's necessity is another person's annoyance.
