For the German keyboard layout FW decided to keep the English name ctrl on the left, which would be fine, if they hadn't translated the right ctrl key....

I'm surprised German keyboards are allowed to have an alt right.

Would be best if we moved it to an extra row below the rest, to keep it under control

Picture isn't loading so idk if it actually writes alt right, but usually it's alt gr

When you cannot control the program, you have to strangle it.

Oh... So it doesn't mean Stroganoff?

What have you done‽ I didn't realize it until now. How do I unsee this?

It seems it is a common error, which has also affected "page up" and down (pg) on the arrow keys and "print screen"... Apparently they know about it, but I am not aware of any follow up.

probably / maybe to save cost in production, assuming the ctrl key is used on all the other keyboards as well

Why does the enter look like that?

@sarmale @mineapple

Why is the US <Enter> so small? ;-)

Several countries have <Enter> taller, and wider at the top.

My UK keyboard is the same, and I'm probably too old to adapt to a smaller <Enter> and having the | \ @ ~ and # in (what I see as) the wrong places :-)

@sarmale @mineapple The only change I'd like to see is replaceable key caps on the FW13, so I can have a penguin (Tux) instead of a 'Windows' key.

For now I use a penguin sticker :-)

Ah crap, I hope they fix that before they send out Batch 5 of the Framework 16...
