The F and J keys have "F" and "J" printed on them instead of "G" and "K". They're also in slightly different positions, offset one position to the left. Otherwise they are identical, to the limits of my vision and touch. (I haven't tried measuring them with a micrometer, or doing chemical analysis of the material they are made of.) -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
