I'm not American but I've used US styled keyboards forever but I fixed my touch typing a while ago after typing while hunting for keys for 16 years so I use blank keyboards everywhere. Not to disparage the need that you have but you should look into learning to touch type. Practice in the dark without keyboard backlight. It's hard enough to find a laptop that meets our needs these days, I can only imagine how hard it must be to also be looking for i8n.
- Cu3PO42 6y agoI believe you're being downvoted for two reasons: a) While touch typing is indeed a useful skill to have, suggesting that people shouldn't care about a certain feature because you can, in a sense, work around it, is missing the point. b) Keyboards aren't just different in how they are labeled. I know of the ANSI layout, which is present on this laptop, and the ISO layout, which is used in much of Europe, has a differently shaped Enter key and other differences. There might be other physical layouts I'm not aware of. I can touch type on an ISO keyboard, I can't on an ANSI keyboard. And frankly I'm not willing to adjust to a different layout just for my laptop.
- bitlevel 6y agoI switch between macOS (US International) and Windows (UK 88 Key), so I like to think I have a few skills. :D Also, I can touch type already (after far too many years of learning), but that obviates the necessity for allowing others the possibility to use my machine. Brave, I know...
