I had a ThinkOutside keyboard - to do numbers you pressed the blue FN 
key and the number, to do the shift of the numbers (e.g. $) you pressed 
the green FN key.

My ThinkOutside died - the two halves of the keyboard are connected with 
a piece of cheap flex PC board (actually the whole keyboard is one big 
piece of flex), and opening and closing the keyboard broke that flex - 
and once that happened it was game over. As a result I would NOT 
recommend the Stowaway.
