There is a keyboard that lets you move the number pad to the left already - it's called the sidewinder. I think I may have seen other keyboards with this feature as well (especially gaming keyboards). I actually like this keyboard better than the dell one now that I have been using it a bit - the keys just seem a bit snappier. But then it is newer. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Long live Linux! by Karin Dalziel http://www.os-agnostic.com/2009/08/rip-linux-long-live-linux/comment-page-1/#comment-219 Karin Dalziel Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:21:42 +0000 http://www.os-agnostic.com/?p=127#comment-219 I have used Photoshop through wine (see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nirak/559140425/), but it doesn't work right (slow, some of the filters/other features don't work at all). And it is not only Photoshop - I depend on many Adobe applications, including Illustrator and InDesign. The drivers for my Wacom tablets never quite worked right, either. As a professional designer, it's important to me that my tools work, without fighting with them for hours. I am sad to have had to leave Ubuntu (at least in part) and I do miss it, but tools are important.

I get your point. Still one could always write to Dell & suggest they make a keyboard that has the numeric pad on the left. (from a Left-hander's POV : this would be great) but I am afraid lefties like me are in the minority. Still, I suspect Leonardo would solved the issue another way. (given his mirror writing). He would have turned the keyboard upside down. Not quite the same...but you get the picture ;) Aqua Ahhh.

Since I've been using the smaller keyboard, no more wrist pain. :) The problem with the dell is that I have to reach too far for the mouse- which makes my wrist hurt.

As the Romans used to say, "we may agree on everything but taste". I use the Dell keyboard as pictured. I find it one of the most ergonomically well designed keyboards out there. Yet, if i may be so bold, what baffles me, is your need for the numeric pad, when you already have one built into the Dell Keyboard. I must be missing the point... Oh well.. Cheers Aqua I dunno Karin.

My second post. I understand your frustration with Ubuntu. But perhaps you may be a bit premature in ditching it because of your liking of Photoshop. I am not sure if you know that Photoshop can be run on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu or whatever flavor of Linux your like. (I like Chakra : look it up on Distrowatch.) All you for Photoshop to work with linux is to install 'Wine'. http://www.winehq.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software) PS : In case you want to play with Chakra here is the link. http://chakra-project.org/ Well hello again.
