(oh awesome blogger on ms edge still hasn't fixed the issue where every post starts with a secret whitespace character no matter what.) Smaller keyboards are tricky, if you ask me. I have been trying some during wfh, getting them used here and here. One of them is a Drop ALT which isn't too bad. At least it has cursor keys. One thing that is strange to me is that there's a Backspace, a Del, and a Home key all near each other, but there's no End key. You have to hold down Fn+Home to get End. I would have instead done Fn+Backspace=Del (since I don't use Del much) and have the freed up extra key be used for End. 

(some day i will get around to programming the keyboard to do that and replacing the keycaps to look right, but i just think for me in terms of usability this is kinda obviously a better default choice. but then again what the heck do i know. maybe most people really do prefer this. i mean, i go into the store to buy groceries and when i look at the "craft" beer section the only thing i see is IPA which i do not like. or the fact that people seem to think that True Faith is somehow not clearly far and away the best ever New Order song. or that blue clicky is a good key switch to use. or that either Democrat or Republican party aren't 99.9% evil self promoters. etc. ad nauseam. and it isn't just that i am getting older every day, i've been a non-conformist in my tastes for ever i guess. having said that, there are lots of things about fashion that seem to be about age, where i can't stand the new things. i think the Honda CBR900RR around 1998 or 1999, and the Kawasaki ZX-7R around 96 or 97 are the perfect motorcycles, aesthetically speaking, vs. all the new crap that has like no tail or some "aggressive" polygonal fairing design. (with the exception of KTMs like the Duke, i feel like they started it and own it really well.))
