The keyboard at the top of the picture has the strait return key, with text to label the tab, delete, shift, and return keys.

The keyboard at the bottom of the picture has the L-shaped return key, with arrows to label the tab, delete, shift, and return keys. It also relocates the backslash and vertical pipe keys to the keypad.

Which is your favorite?

The top is my favorite keyboard of all time. I use one daily at work with a USB converter.

As a programmer, having \ and | easy to reach is a must.

Though, must be said, my favourite keyboard is this beast:

Just need to finish hacking up a USB interface for it.

#1, and now even more, my TMK converter from Japan has arrived and now I'm able to use it via USB. Time to fix some keymaps!

Extended keyboard for me. It has a larger form factor and includes additional features such as function keys and a numeric keypad. It also uses mechanical switches and just won my <3 all over  :)

I have the lower keyboard and it makes unix'ying on my NeXT a pain.

What's the model of the top keyboard? I need to get one.
