RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Keyboard for CNC

The feel on the standard keys is OK. The larger keys (enter, shift, space,
etc) is to say the least unique. I don't think I will be replacing my MS
natural keyboard on my desk computer with one. On the other hand for the CNC
controller it works great. I would suggest you take a trip to a larger local
Radio Shack and see if they have any in stock. I just picked up an
additional one for the computer that goes to the Shoptask today at the Radio
Shack store in the local mall. That way you can touch and feel and see what
you think. For $40.00 it is a winner in my mind.
