the risk of damage to sensitive components underneath. The 101/102-key compatible keyboard

 

features an industry standard, full-pitch key layout with desktop keyboard features, such as the

 

isolated inverted-T cursor control keys, editing keys, both left and right control and alt keys, and

and the printed characters on the keys. HP DuraFinish helps protect the finish on the keyboard

 

deck, graphics, and icons from normal wear and tear.
