"Chicklet" keyboard? What I've seen are two sizes of keyboard: one
not much wider than the terminal housing that has the QWERTY key
cluster with some function keys at the top and some compressed and
doubled-up keys, and one wide keyboard with the numeric keypad off to
the right.

The narrow keyboard is a bit of a pain to work with because of the
compromises made w/r/t key placement (e.g. the return key is
relatively small), but it's usable and has full-travel keys just like
the wide one.
