I saw a nice keyboard in Fry's which didn't have numb-pad
or arrow keys.  It did have a row of function keys though,
but even so, it was pretty compact compared to the Sun
monstrosity in front of me right now.  And it was black...

I believe that NCD used to sell a keyboard known as the
``programmer's keyboard'' (not sure if that was it's actual
name or just what John liked to call it).  It was also very
compact, although it wasn't black.  I think it might even
be PC compatible (at least electrically, if not keycode
compatible).

Actually, one or both of these may have had arrow keys, but
if they did, they weren't taking up as much space as they
do on the standard 104 key keyboards.
