Their new "nice" multimedia keyboards have the nasty "feature" of grouping 
the F keys in groups of 3, leading to my F4 seeking finger hitting a gap. 
The fact that there is also an "F-lock" button that you have to press to 
enable the F keys rather than have them do their default "print", "save" 
etc for office was the final straw that led to it being returned to the IT 
department.

Other than that they are quite nice.

And yes, I know that F-keys up the side of the keyboard is a surefire way 
to growing a luxuriant beard, but I'm happy with mine as it is.
