I have technic question - why dont you boys design keyboard with caps lock light on same side as caps lock key? I alWAYS DO THIS BECause I cant see both sides of keyboard at once.
For some reason I just don't think this discussion is complete without a picture of the infamous Space Cadet keyboard (http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/S/space-cadet-keyboard.html):
(insert standard flame about posting in the wrong community)
I've seen keyboards where the caps lock light is not in the top right. Example #1: my current laptop has it just below the screen and just right of middle. #2: an older laptop has it in a bank of lights above F1-F4. #3: ye olde Acorns had it in the caps lock key.
You'd think that whoever made the jpg would have been such a geek they could have got the compression optimised enough so you could make out what's on the non-letter keys! It's not even a particularly small file (in size).
Um, sorry, OP - if you want a bunch of geekboys to come up with coherent answers, it helps if you pick the right community and do not choose an icon which causes their eyes and brain to fall out of their heads, thus rendering them useless.
Us geekgirls, on the other hand, will just tend to go *yawn*. Which is also pretty useless in its own way.
Amazing, isn't it? A geek posts a legitimate question and gets flambe'd. A sock puppet windup account posts crap and gets petted purely for having an ass icon.
I guess I ain't a boy no more...that shit stopped impressing me years ago when I found out WOMEN rock, and girls are a waste of time, money and testosterone.

It's because you're using a windows computer, not a mac, which has a far better designed keyboard.
