Keyboard on Lifebook C/E/S/T

I would like to ask owners of the Lifebooks, how do you like the keyboard?

The main topics I am worried about:

1) The Home and End keys are accessible only via the Fn key. This seems just crazy to me, I have never seen anything similar on any other notebook. Additionally, the Home/End keys can't be pressed by one hand (Fn is only on the left side, far from the PgUp/Dn keys). Can you get used to it?

2) How do you like the position of PgDn and PgUp keys near the arrow keys? Since I usually press the arrows from memory without looking there, are mistakes common (pressing PgUp instead of up arrow etc.)? Usually, the arrow keys are placed on a block of keys separated from other keys.

Lifebook C1410 is probably the only notebook that suits my needs, but I just can't understand the keyboard. In fact I was considering also an HP nx9420 where the keyboard is much much bigger. Interesting, that the Amilo line has better keyboard than the Lifebooks.

Here is a picture of the keyboard on Lifebooks:



Thanks,

I I don't mind the keyboard of my S6231. It does have a bit of flex to it (meaning when I press the K key, for example, the keys around it sink in a bit)
Overall it has a good feel to it. As for use of the FN key for home/end function, that did take some getting used to. However, it becomes like a old hat afterwhile. In fact, when I bought my Dell 9300 that has it's own home/end keys later on, I had to get used to NOT using the FN keys.

I personally like where the PgUp/Dn keys are located.
