That keyboard layout is a deal breaker for me. Why do companies have to change things up all the time? Why can't they just go with T-shaped arrow keys and a standard layout?
It completely dwarfs the otherwise great hardware.
Are you referring to the UK layout? Or the keys on the side? It's all tradeoffs but full size cursor keys and a line of line/page keys are arguably as good as it gets.
Specifically the line/page keys. I guess I've gotten used to MacBooks for so many years that I'm fine with pressing a modifier key and the arrow keys to navigate that way.
I'd rather do that than accidentally keep pressing "Home" instead of Backspace.
With this, I'd have to look down at my keyboard all the time to make sure I'm not mistakenly pressing those keys, because the hand is used to "resetting" on the edges of the keyboard to get a feel for the keys I expect to find on the edges: Enter, Shift, Arrow Keys, etc.
