Full width keyboards throw the ergonomics of my setup way off. I need the keys on the board closer to the mousepad.

Here were some of the narrow keyboards I could find:

BTC 6100c (out of stock). This one seems cost effective, doesn't look super-cool but has decent reviews.

Apple's mini bluetooth keyboard....expensive and don't really care for bluetooth, but is very small. Can this keyboard be used in the BIOS?

Cherry G84-4100....not cheap for a wired keyboard, but seems quite narrow.

Dinovo Edge @ 16 inches is way too wide. Not sure how wide the regular Dinovo is. Full size letter keys are a must. Wireless would be nice, but I guess not completely necessary. I'd love to hear some opinions on what to get. :confused:
 
Logitech's Dinovo Laser combo has a narrow keyboard but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. Every time I reboot I lose the mouse and I have problems with the space bar and ctrl keys not striking properly. They seem to be trouble free for a lot of other people though.
 
Lenovo has two that are narrow. One has a number pad, the other doesn't, both have a touch pad at the bottom, they are both based on their laptop keyboards. USB cable, prices are high, propriatary keys don't work, but then it's kinda like using Apple keyboards on non Apple computers.
 
Thanks

Don't need number pad, just clean 'n simple. I thought more would have used that BTC keyboard? I don't know anything about them.
 
I actually have that BTC 6100 Keyboard. Got it for $20 from Fry's

Anyway, it's a nice enough keyboard for the price. Not as nice as my $30 Kensington keyboard but still pretty good for the price.
