Tortally geeking on new Linux keyboard
Posted by: JDS
New Ubunut-branded keyboard from Zareason. Yay! Or, as my wife would say, "you are so queer."
Okay, so I just got the Ubuntu branded keyboard from Zareason. No "Windows" key! Okay, so it is really just a cheap Logitech "Internet 350" keyboard (Logitech makes good stuff, IMO, though), but the key, here, (no pun intended -- well, adctually, pun intended), is that the Windows keys have been replaced with Ubuntu keys.
Of course, I use LinuxMint, but that's close enough. I wouldda got the Tux keyboard, but, alas, there isn't one. Yet. According to an email from Cathy Malmrose at Zareason, (in response to my email to Zareason), they are going to have a Tux keyboard in their product list sometime soon. Even better!
Some minor criticisms:
- The "powered by Ubuntu" sticker in the middle of the keyboard looks out of place. It is because it is a "portrait" layout sticker stuck in a space better suited to a "landscape" layout sticker.
- The Zareason badge looks less out of place, but is a bit on the ugly side.
