I honestly can't say I've ever seen a computer keyboard that has a symbol on the shift key. The text implying that it's common took me quite by surprise.

- efficax 3y agoIt's less common now but pc keyboards always had the empty up arrow on shift in the 80s/90s and still common into the oughts: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/IBM_Model_M_Space_Saving_Keyboard.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/IBM_Mode...

- edwcross 3y agoAZERTY keyboards for instance have it, since "Shift" is not a native French word (sometimes they do write "Maj.", but mostly they simply use the arrow). Also happens with some keys such as Caps Lock (a padlock symbol).
- TremendousJudge 3y agoAll of my keyboards have only an up arrow, not the "shift" word. They aren't english keyboards though.
- hnlmorg 3y agoI’ve got 4 keyboards in front of me and not a single one of them have the word shift. All English QWERTY keyboards too. These are British keyboards though. So maybe this is a European vs US keyboard difference?
