My friend asked me to find him a specific type of keyboard, but I couldn't find one yet. There is always one feature missing.

Maybe you guys can help me/him out on this.

These are the requirements

1. Has to have Bluetooth wireless support (no RF)
2. Has to have keys like in this pic, or as close as possible to that. He doesn't like to press much. LOL (i-Rock has a wired keyboard with exactly the same keys)
3. Full size keyboard (i.e. need a numpad)

The only one i can think of without looking is the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 7000 or 8000. They are bloth bluetooth, although the keys aren't the size of the one's you have pictured above they are like laptop keys in the way you don't have to push them far. I use the 8000 and its an awesome keyboard!
 
Look for 'Logitech Cordless Mediaboard Pro'
 
Hve you checked out the Logitech DiNovo? A little on the pricey side, but has some outstanding keys, battery life, range and build quality is great, and has the laptop style mouse pad.

Click to expand...

You refer to DiNovo Edge, Logitech have released several other Keyboards in the DiNovo range.
I didnt mention this product because my one broke as did my expensive cordless elite keyboard(bluetooth) before it and my g7 mouse and the momo steering wheel that absolutely no game in the history of gaming ever supported...For this reason i can never recommend logitech products, I am sick of spending good money on Top-shelf logitech only to be dissapointed a few months after purchase... ofcourse YMMV so get your mate to test a few in-store before you buy.
 
Yep I have never had a problem with my own many Logitech keyboards and mice throughout the years. I recommend them 100%. But of course in respect of cost vs value I recommend a Cordless Mediaboard Pro over a DiNovo.
 
Wait...I forgot another requirement. He needs the numpad too. (Edited first post)

So the Dinovo is out. Mediaboard is out. MS Wireless Dekstop 8000 is out. :( 7000 seems OK. I'll tell him about it.

The Apple one fits it, and I even told him about it, but he doesn't like it for what I don't understand. He says it is crap. I didn't argue, because I personally haven't used it :D
