My laptop keyboard. The key to turn up the backlight brightness is the minus key on the numpad, and the key to lower it is the plus key. This angers me.

Not my laptop, or even the same model, but it’s the same layout. At least the keyboard is nice to type on.

I mean, it’s plus because you add darkness, and minus because you remove it. I don’t get what the issue is.

Honestly most laptops have terrible keyboards and touchpads.

That keyboard looks like the periodic table of elements.

I wish mine had a backlight on the keyboard.

But I wish more that keyboards had a standard layout, whenever I go from my laptop to my desktop at some point a few minutes in I need to look around the damn keyboard for a certain or button.

They’ve improved in the last few years, although a lot are still crap, even high end ones. Lenovo and MSI are the only two that I can say make really good laptop keyboards.

It’s especially annoying when you live somewhere like Canada or (I think) Australia that uses both the ISO and ANSI keyboards. The enter key should be one standard size damnit.

Man, I wish keyboard backlights like that were available on regular laptops. I don’t need a gaming system, but I do like pretty things. Heh.

We get both on the U.K. also.

I also hate when some keyboards have dedicated volume buttons, some have them up with the F# keys along the top and some have a scroll wheel.

So many times I’ve jumped out of my skin with f***ing auto play adverts.

More darkness and less darkness. I don’t see the problem here
