It made me notice the vertical line of keys on the right, which is why the spacebar isn’t centered.
I don’t think any of these keys are useful enough to warrant taking that space and shifting the whole keyboards to the left. Feels really like a checklist driven design.
I don’t get why, but it’s not uncommon for people to prefer the aesthetic of the trackpad being centered on the chassis, while being offset relative to the midpoint between the two home rows of the keyboard. Palm rejection nowadays is pretty decent, but still, I’d much rather not have my right palm constantly in contact with the trackpad.
The offset is due to the presence of a pointer/trackpoint/whatever you call it. Otherwise, you’d need to use two hands to click the mouse buttons while using it.
