Happy Hacking KeyBoard Lite2: The Space Saving Choice

unplggd032708happykey01.jpgNo, your eyes do not deceive you...there's no Photoshop tomfoolery up above. Those are actual keyboards from PFU, a Fujistu company, whose space saving keyboards have become extremely popular in Asia where space is at premium...

unplggd032708happykey02.jpgWe're happy with our Apple keyboard, but kind of envious of the footprint of these hobbit sized Happy Hacking variety input devices that stand in at about the same size as a piece of folded letter size paper.

The USB connection 65-key membrane switch keyboard also offers two USB 1.1 connections on the back, and is offered in both a special Mac-aesthetic white version and a black or gray PC version. And check out the slick compatible wrist rest.

This would drive me nuts, but that's because I use my 10 key.

How different in size versus an Apple wireless keyboard?

You provide nothing for scale to reference. I can't even tell how small those actually ARE.

"about the same size as a piece of folded letter size paper."

There's also an image of the keyboard next to a Mac mini shown above if that helps.

@spanishfish:

Look at your keyboard.

Now, just look at the central section with all the alphabetic keys. Imagine a keyboard that had just the alphabetic keys, the row of number keys at the top, and ... not much else.

Now, imagine how small could you make the case in which to contain all those keys?

That's the Happy Hacking Keyboard. Cool stuff.
