QWERTY is great for when it fits… when it doesn’t (like on many hand-held devices; I program on a large number of them) that also use A-Z key placement. And I’d rather have that than someone trying to invent another crappy, non-standard keyboard layout. We have enough issues with various special keys and key-shift mechanisms.

I also have a Brother Ptouch (don’t recall the model) and it works fine; it does waste a good bit of tape, but I’ve still only used one tape so far. And I suppose the extra tape was “useful” when labeling ethernet cables with flags (that heat shrink labeling would be sweet though).

One problem with not wasting tape is that for very small tags it becomes impossible to remove the backing from the label. I’ve even had that problem with short labels on my Brother printer, even with the overage on both sides.

- It has a Qwerty keyboard.
- The labels adhere well.
- Yeah it wastes a bit of tape when printing.
- I think the refill labels are about $10.
