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.

It throws off the brain's muscle memory big time.

You'll probably get used to it in a week or so. I prefer separate keys however there's usually not enough room, so this is a good compromise.
