    Slightly bigger so they wouldn’t have to slaughter the layout to get arrow keys in there and I would be interested.

    It already pisses me off that so many notebook keyboards deviate from the IBM “standard”. I don’t need an external keyboard to fuck with my muscle memory.

        Sure. And I haven’t seen a single one I like, so far. Compact tenkeyless are my threshold. I like the knobs and display (and the general customizability) of this WorkLouder keyboard, otherwise. But not the general layout.

      If you’re talking about the tucked-in arrow keys, you’d be surprised how quickly you adapt. I’ve gotten so used to it that the more spaced-out configuration feels unnatural to me at this point. I don’t think I’m alone, as I’m seeing this layout more and more.

      Give it a try (maybe not on something as expensive as this is!) Maybe you’ll like it and it’ll open up more options for you.
