my only thought with the fingerprint location is that anyone with longer fingernails might have a hard time fitting in that area. It's still the only spot that seems to fit with the more compact layout, and I guess most people using keyboards regularly probably don't have long nails like I tend to have.

How do you type with long nails? Whenever my nails get even slightly long my typing speed and accuracy go down so I keep them short specifically for typing. The down side is opening cans becomes harder

yeah it's definitely slower and more prone to typos, but considering I don't need to type for my job and it's only something I do in my spare time, it's a trade off I don't mind, especially if it's not permanent. As far as other tasks like opening cans, I usually use a spoon or other tool but my nails are pretty strong with gel manicure so sometimes I can get away with it. I love switching up my nails so I go back and forth between long and short, I'm sure once i finish building my keyboard i'll probably cut them short so i can enjoy the typing experience.

A spoon! Now why didn’t think of that? That’s clever
