It's basically flat (in that it's standard QWERTY without a "break" in the middle), but with extra keys for zoom, media control and applications mapped to function keys (with a modifier key).

I've tried the split ones, but they are a PITA from my POV - they take too long to get used to, and cause a lot of hassle in the learning process. I did have a brief infatuation with Dvorak layout but while it's fast when you get used to it, as soon as you go near someone elses computer you are stuffed. Laugh | :laugh:
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
