It's bizarre to me that the big spacebar remains a standard feature on keyboards. It would be better for the thumbs to be able to use e.g. backspace, enter, escape, tab.
And unlike those other features, there's no downside to making the spacebar smaller. (The only thing I can think of is some people press with their right thumb instead of their left; but, a 2U spacebar would cover that).
(I'd still much rather have a keyboard that's symmetrical and ortho; although I can at least understand that traditional layouts have such a stay that it's only enthusiasts who would use keyboards with these features).
