replySorry, I've never seen this perspective, why do you want the smaller ones? The small arrow keys on my MacBook are one of my least favorite parts of the keyboard.
You want the smaller ones so you can easily locate the arrow key cluster without having to look. The empty space above the left and right arrow keys is a good tactile indicator that your fingers are on the correct location.
reply> How is it that Apple is the only company these days() that consistently gets this right?
replyThinkpads also do this right, and have a way better keyboard layout than macbooks actually :)
I agree with you that having full height left-right and half-sized up-down is a pain, because of the inconsistency.
replyThe problem I have with laptop keyboard is that the arrow key height is too small, and the cluster itself is too crowded to sit my fingers on comfortably when using arrows. I want the arrow cluster to have full sized keys.
Real developers use hjkl, which, if this keyboard uses QMK like their previous ones, you can just remap to actual arrows (with a modifier key). I am only slightly joking.
replyThe modern Thinkpad arrow cluster spoils me; most other laptops leave me reaching for a convenient pgup/pgdn key that doesn't exist.
replyI'd much rather see something like that, going back to Fn+up/dn makes me feel like a caveman.
