Mine has at least 100 (that's the estimation - I stopped counting at 54).
And I can't immagine how to work with a keyboard with less letters - the essential "CTRL-ALT-DEL" already counts as 10. And then there are ESC, ALTGR, ENTER, a second CTRL, NUM, several Fs ... and of course the letters in the type and the brand ... .
So long, Rata

No matter how you count them, you see progress. Back in the day, we had to write FORTRAN all in upper case.

I just checked. All the keys on my keyboard are still in uppercase!

∞ - I use an Optimus keyboard
Even something close to 262_144**(72*72*80) isn't ∞.
Update: Thanks to Math::BigApprox (and less than 1 CPU tick), that translates to:
% perl -MMath::BigApprox=c -le"print c(262_144)**(72*72*80)"
7.5237e+2_247_176

Definitely a multiple blankster, although one of them has a button labeled "PANIC". eta: ...though only barely, even those letters are fading due to heavy usage.

(slightly more OT: I accidentally poured hot tea over my Das Keyboard, and it quit its services subsequently. Fellow users, take that as a warning... it did not mind coffee or beer, but never hot tea.)

Do repeated "letters" count as one ?
The letter "F" appears 15 times, if you include the function keys, and the 2 "shift" keys.

26 - the rest are numbers, symbols, and control characters.

26 letter keys. 166 letters on the front of the keyboard. No, 170. I didn't notice the "Dell" logo at first.
UPDATE: 171. The capslock LED has a label.

No, that's why I was careful to say the count was only the front of the keyboard. The bottom has some Chinese, and I am uncertain how to count those. Some of the writing on the underside is pretty tiny, too! I'd have to get out my magnifying glass.

Mine was a blankster,now I have 26 letters that my wife wrote on washi tape because I have temporarily (I hope) lost the use of my right hand and it turns out that is very frustrating to type one handed on a blank keyboard. | [reply] |
