FYI, 1x width zero key on the numpad. If you use the numpad for data entry, expect to hit the right arrow a lot.
Definitely user error. I got used to 98 width within a day or two

Skill issue. My thumb longs for the difficultly of pressing zero right under the center palm. Muahahahhahaha

I'm in need of a keyboard for productivity use, business use, and coding. I was highly considering the Logitech MX Keys S, which is very different to this one. I know this keyboard is primarily for gaming.

Question - how is a mechanical keyboard like this for general productivity use, and if it is good for a productivity use, with the tactile or linear switch be better? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Why do they think we need more layouts?

Went mechanical years ago with a Cherry or Brown switch Keyboard ( I don't recall which was first). Regardless, never going back.

So you unnaturally curl your thumb under your palm to hit the zero key?

It's a matter of preference. Some prefer the uninterrupted feeling of a keystroke so linear would be the recommendation. Some prefer the feeling and sound that let's them know the key has been pressed (aka the switch has been actuated).

If you've never had a mechanical keyboard, linear would be closer to that experience. Because the switches are hot-swappable, you could change the switches somewhere down the road, if it interests you.

It's pretty standard for 96% keyboard layouts. In their attempt to reduce the size of the keyboard while maintaining most of the keys, some compromises had to be made.

What the heck, you are right. This is going to get very annoying if someone uses the num pad a lot.
