My very old Northgate keyboard,which I loved finally died so I had to get something else. I was looking at keyboards at Frys in Las Vegas and came across a keyboard from Ideazon, called the Zboard. I am a real sucker for something different.
You get a basic keyboard in the box with a keyset that is for Microsoft windows and Internet Explorer. You can also purchase additional keysets for various programs and games. (The gamming boards really look WIERD.) Yes, the whole set of keys come off. You can hotswap the whole keyboard at any time. I seldom take the Photoshop set off though. The feel is a little different with a somewhat firm feel. I soon got used to it.
One other thing. It is basicly sealed. It wouldn’t be a tragedy if you spilled your coffee in the keyboard. Dust/dirt don’t affect function.
I got the Photoshop keyset. It is not a must-have but I like it. The Alphanumeric keys have the additional graphics on the keys. The number pad can be set (via an extra non standard key) for various layer operations and screen controls. ie the CTRL / 0 / + /- ,Layer up/down, New layer etc.
The function keys can also be changed (via another non standard key) for the Rotate Canvas functions, canvas size Transform, Feather Imageready and others.
There are 9 buttons across the top which can be programmed to open a program, directory, URL or document.

and no, I’m not in any way associated with Ideazon.
