The black-and-white Windows flag is mirrored, and the colored is just all wrong. (The shredded part is supposed to be on the right, and the red and blue sections are farthest from the shred.)
Moving the editing block down one row broke all the muscle memory.
The Power/Sleep/Wake Up cluster is a crime to humanity and especially to cat owners. Two of these keys have the ability to seriously disrupt or even lose your work if pressed accidentally.
For a membrane keyboard it was LOUD to the point my brother pushed me so hard to use a ‘quieter keyboard’ that my old one ‘disappeared mysteriously’ forcing me to get another. I did have to hand it to the keyboard durability though. It survived a good 10+ years of use with regular maintenance.
As a cat owner I can completely relate with the power/sleep buttons. This was during a time when sleep mode often resulted in the system hardlocking during waking and resulting in completely breaking your session with an ill fated “hold 5 seconds to force ACPI shutdown” routine. It was such an egregiously poor decision for an extended feature I still wonder why it existed on the keyboard.
On the flip side, the keyboard did support KBPO [keyboard power-on] so that may be the partial reason for the power button.
What do you mean the flag is incorrect? It looks correct for the windows 98 logo
Hm. I stand corrected. I wonder why I remember it that way.
