Do other people have the same problem I do with large key caps? I find
that the trend to have most of the area of a modern keyboard taken up
with key caps is leading to typos. It seems that my large fingertips
catch the corners of the key caps to introduce extraneous characters.
Smaller caps, such as were found on old typewriters, would, I believe,
reduce that problem. The way keyboards are built these days, it would be
impossible for fingers to go between two keys in a way to jam key bars
on an typewriter.
I am currently using a keyboard that came with my Mac Pro. It has large
square caps. It would be great to have replacement caps with relatively
small projections in the center for the fingertips while the rest is
recessed below the surrounding surface.
What is out there for me?
