The Cherry Advanced Performance Keyboard has a built in Touchpad to replace the functions of the mouse while still keeping a space saving size, ideal if you have limited space on your desktop. The keyboard comes in either black or beige, and has all the standard keys, some have just been moved to make space for the touchpad.
Layout
``````````
Pretty standard layout all the letter and number keys are where they should be, however the bottom row of keys have all been resized smaller to match the standard keys which allows the arrow keys to be placed closer so this makes space for the touchpad which is located on the bottom right of the keyboard also the number pad has been pushed up to the top and the F1 to F12 keys have had the spaces removed and been split into two rows which allows the Insert, Home, Prtsc, Delete, keys etc. to go ...
I purchased this keyboard a while ago as I was looking for one with alot of functionality, and this seemed to have it all at a quite competative price. It looks very professional, a nice sliver and black look with well defined white text on keys. It has a built in wrist rest, which is very important if you are typing for long periods of time as your wrist will begin to ache from the position. The wrist rest is removable if you have your own, I can highly recommend the gel wrist rests as they provide brilliant support and look pretty nifty too. The wrist rest doubles as you can bend it backwards and use it to stand the keyboard up on its side should you wish to reclaim your desk space for doing something by hand.

Advantages: Small and light, touchpad, great range, good keys Disadvantages: Numpad operation fiddly, tacky mouse buttons and a little flimsy for some
It's a bit creaky and cheaply built but the range is excellent as it battery life. There aren't many keyboards with a built in mouse pad so you don't need a mouse as well for armchair surfing and emails. The Mouse buttons have a horrible click to them but the keys are pretty good. Very small keyboard so great for storage. Uses 4 AAA batteries. The USB dongle is a little on the large side so rear mount is preferrable unless you have health insurance. Sometimes when it switches on pressing any key) the numpad is on by default. Press FN (bottom left) and NumLK (top right) to disable. It takes a bit of getting used to that the key in the bottom left is not CTRL but the FN key but not a major problem. At about £20 it's a good buy I'd say. ...

Manufacturer's product description
Cherry Electrical Products offers the G80-8113 full-size keyboard that integrates both a magnetic stripe reader that reads track 1 and 2, and a touch pad with two mouse buttons directly into the keyboard. These space-saving, point-of-sale features make the G80-8113 ideal for POS, credit card, loyalty program, healthcare, banking, hospitality, inventory control, and membership/ID applications. The two-button touch pad is a unique Cherry feature that eliminates the need for a separate, or standalone, pointing device at a POS workstation. Not only does this offer a significant space saving at the terminal, it also simplifies communication between the operator and the PC. To move the cursor, the operator need only slide their finger across the touch pad; to select items, the operator simply taps the touch pad. The ruggedly designed, lightweight keyboard consists of 120 keys. The keyboard's reliability is enhanced through use of Cherry MX switches. These key switches have uniquely constructed solid gold "cross-point" contacts that provide maximum contact pressure. They are also configured to provide minimum contact closure interference from foreign particles. Use of Cherry MX switches provides each key with a service life of greater than 50 million keystrokes. The package includes 41 relegendable keycaps.
