Affordances are good, but they can't be the only consideration.
Like what is someone that doesn't know how to read and write English going to do with a keyboard? Would pictograms on everything actually be better? Or course not.
- cratermoon 5y agoYou do know that keyboards come in a variety of different languages, right?
- maxerickson 5y agoNo they don't.
- andrewzah 5y agoThey definitely come with alternate keycaps [0] or you can get replacements for your language. My current keyboard has entirely blank keycaps, so it's not like the symbols are even necessary.

- maxerickson 5y agoYou think I'm serious? My initial comment is awkwardly phrased, it's ridiculous to infer from that that I think keyboards only come in English.
- andrewzah 5y agoThe way it's worded, it does seem genuine and non-sarcastic. Tone tags (like /s) help clarify in these situations.
