There are quite a few benefits to this type of computer keyboard, even if you don't exactly subscribe to the sound or typing experience they bring. It almost seems like a by-product of their audience that

    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.

      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.

      They have some other options on their site but I don’t think any of that helps your point.

    Pretty cool. I won’t buy a first gen product like this (personal policy to let early adopters work out the bugs first), but it’s great to see more wireless keyboards with more features.

    Interesting, but what is with those flat and mashed together keys? I mean i get it, they’re going for the Magic™ aesthetic and all, but it’s like they only cared about fixing the mushy key feeling of Apple keyboards and ignoring the other glaring issues. But there’s a screen and some dials so, yay?
