I have never used them, but what is wrong with the full-sized left and right arrow keys?

  They're hard to locate by touch. Seems counter-intuitive, maybe, but I'm sure I won't be alone in attesting from experience that it does make a difference.

  It's much harder to blindly tell where in the arrow key cluster your finger has landed without the blank spaces of the inverted T layout.

    I do not understand this at all as the break in between the up/down arrow keys is far more apparent to touch than even the bump on the F key that's supposed to allow you to blindly return to the home keys. If that little bump works, how can a full break not be working for you?

      A full-height arrow key is almost identical to the key next to it.

        That depends on which key you're referring to. On the Macbook, the left arrow key is right next to the up/down half-keys. If you touch to the right and you're hitting another full key, you're not at the arrow key. Again, I don't understand how the bump on the F key works but somehow the giant dip in between the two up/down keys is the problem...?
        • saagarjha 7y ago
          The issue I have is that I will rest my index finger on the Option key instead of the left arrow key because they feel the same. The dip is fine for the up/down keys, but I can't "rest" my index and ring fingers on the arrow keys anymore.
          • dpkonofa 7y ago
            Why not? Rest your middle finger down where you feel the break. Your index and ring fingers are now on the left and right arrow keys. This is such a non-issue.
