Caveat: I'm entirely going off your image[1]. I have neither laptop. >> The arrow keys are proper sized buttons (even the macbook has it wrong). > This is false, look at the linked image[1] and tell me that the arrow keys are different on the new keyboard. Looks like the old laptop has a different height for Left, Right, and Down compared to Up, PageUp, PageDown. Is that really the case? If so, that'd be a pretty noticeable difference for a user of the original design. >> There is a slight curvature on each key's surface that makes it easy for the finger to feel the borders. > This is also false. The chicklet keys are slightly concave and the island layout makes it extremely easy to feel the borders of each key. Just going off the shadow from your image, there's a marked and well-defined difference between the concavity. If my fingers were used to that concavity, I'd be unhappy with the much, much flatter design. Arguing that he's propagating falsehoods is overshooting. That said, I thought it was pretty bad-ass you had both laptops and took a photo for us. [1] https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ksPFqBdMikM/maxresdefault.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ksPFqBdMikM/maxresdefault.jpg

If my fingers were used to that concavity, I'd be unhappy with the much, much flatter design. They are a little less concave than the older keys, but they aren't flat. The lighting in that picture isn't the same for both laptops. [1] is a better angle. > That said, I thought it was pretty bad-ass you had both laptops and took a photo for us. It's not my photo, though I do have a t420s and an x230, just not an x220 :-) [1] http://blog.lenovo.com/images/uploads/blog/CS12KBD_180degree_20120523_crop.jpg http://blog.lenovo.com/images/uploads/blog/CS12KBD_180degree...
