Abstract
A Window keyboard comprises a keyboard body having a single-chip microprocessor or ASIC therein and a plurality of function key blocks thereon. Those function key blocks is selected from a group comprises of File & Clipboard block, Office block, Application-setting block. Those blocks are electrically connected to the single-chip microprocessor and each has a plurality of function key, wherein each function key will generates a pseudo composite-key code for user to execute specific functions singly.
