Oh and start from a tablet instead of a laptop to minimise duplication :)
I just said that :-)) even a 10" tablet is too large.
No you didn't, you said it after me :P
I think recent small keyboards are much better than ancient ones

I don't know how this thread started, so forgive me if I'm all wet! If you need a real keyboard that you can touch-type on, then you need a full size one! That sort of compromises the situation if a 10" tablet is too big! If you're using the computer at home, you might want a click-key (mechanical switches) unit for better "touch" but if you need to use it in an office environment, the click units are too loud. I'm typing at home, and I have several versions of the IBM model M made probably 35 years ago or so, that work wonderfully--no Windows key, but ALT-ESC does the same job. On the other hand, there exists a keyboard called Mini Key, that's just under 6" wide and less than 3-3/4" from front to back, and works on RF, so your tablet would have to be compatible. The model of this device is UKB-500-RF. It says on the box that it supports "HTPC, Business lecture systems, Video conference system, PC with windows OS, Mac, Linux, PS3, XBOX360" I thought it would work with my "Smart TV" but it does not! I also tried this thing on a Sylvania Netbook, an extremely slow Microsoft-running computer, in immediate vicinity and also connected by usb, and it didn't work. So if you want to try this out buy it from Amazon or someplace where you can send it back if it doesn't work with your hardware.
