CHS to close

I take it you work at the till in Dunnes stores now

No. But it's a challenge getting back money under SOGA!
Took a new tablet keyboard back to lidl and explained the design was "not fit for purpose", inherently faulty. He insisted as putting "disliked" in till as return reason!
* If you re-read paragraph you just typed and type again: First two characters or more lost as it sleeps (too quickly?) to save power.
* Special key beside space bar gives same code as space, so that needed special key neither works, nor mappable.
* USB charging cable doesn't reach floor even directly. It would be better if it ran on 2 x AAA cells like the one I bought 8 years ago for phone.
* One lip to clip on to tablet is in front of middle so thumbs catch on it.
* Though it felt like proper keys in the shop, it's like dead rubber to type on in reality. Thus slow, unresponsive and tiring to type on.
€20 for junk in a pretty alloy case.

Plus: It did have an Altgr. Very many small keyboards and keyboard covers are useless for accents or extra characters due to having NO AltGr key, nor right Alt and often the Ctrl + Left Alt (= AltGr on windows usually) is disabled

AltGr enabled characters (caps versions with shift):

àèùìò is no bother with Windows, Linux or Android if ` is a "dead key".  I have ^ ~¯ ° ˝ etc as altGr dead keys on Linux and Android too, press twice for character, or else next character gets accent.
There is a free "power toy" Keyboard layout editor download from Microsoft that lets you start with any existing windows layout and edit AltGr and Shift AltGr for all keys (for own preference or to match Linux / Solaris / BSD, UNIX).
