The keyboard in the picture looks strange, right? It's rumored to be the keyboard of a Chrome OS-based netbook, with the image sourced from an introduction document by Inventec. At first glance, it might not seem much different from a traditional laptop keyboard, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice quite a few differences.

Firstly, the traditional Caps Lock key has been replaced with a "search" key, while the Caps Lock function has been integrated into the Shift key. Notice that the indicator light shows the capitalization status. The row of function keys at the top is also interesting: the two keys next to Esc are for browser navigation (forward/backward), followed by three keys representing "all windows," "full-screen browsing," and "settings." Then there are two keys for adjusting screen brightness, followed by volume control and mute keys, with a power button located on the far right.
