Although the layout of the keys on your computer’s keyboard is different from that on a desktop computer’s keyboard, the keyboard feels like a full-sized keyboard when you use it. The distance between the keys (the pitch) is the same as on a full- size keyboard (19 mm). The travel, or space the key goes down when pressed, is also the same (3 mm).

The keys on the keyboard can be grouped into the following categories:

•Full-sized Alphanumeric typewriter keys are arranged like a standard typewriter keyboard and are used for text entry. The Windows keys on either side of the spacebar open Windows menus and perform other special functions.

•Function keys, when pressed together with the <Fn> key, enable special functions.

•Cursor and Screen control keys move the cursor. They may perform other functions, depending on your software.
