Slightly bigger so they wouldn't have to slaughter the layout to get arrow keys in there and I would be interested.

It already pisses me off that so many notebook keyboards deviate from the IBM "standard". I don't need an external keyboard to fuck with my muscle memory.

Hmm, what do you mean? To me it looks like a normal 65% layout

Sure. And I haven't seen a single one I like, so far. Compact tenkeyless are my threshold. I like the knobs and display (and the general customizability) of this WorkLouder keyboard, otherwise. But not the general layout.

Compact TKL aka 70% uh? Such a great layout. Make sure you don’t miss out on the Cycle7. The best value boards released in the last 3 years imho

If you're talking about the tucked-in arrow keys, you'd be surprised how quickly you adapt. I've gotten so used to it that the more spaced-out configuration feels unnatural to me at this point. I don't think I'm alone, as I'm seeing this layout more and more.

Give it a try (maybe not on something as expensive as this is!) Maybe you'll like it and it'll open up more options for you.

Dammit, now I am intrigued...

I bet you’re angry at Corne and othe splits as well…

They have some other options on their site but I don't think any of that helps your point.
