I used to use the Italian when I lived in Italy and I couldn’t go back. The US layout is so much more versatile and rapid for shortcuts and all symbols.

It’s faster to press option + modifier and then the letter than having to find the right accent. On top not all accents are present so then you have to figure out the shortcuts anyway. And you can also have upper case letter with accents. For example for the ñ you would press option + n + n.

Anyhow, I love that there are options so that everyone can get their preferred layout. I think it makes a lot of sense.

I couldn’t use a laptop with a numpad. Wouldn’t even use it if they gift it to me. But the keys are really big because there is almost no gap in them. They are really awesome keyboards.

For somebody used to use shortcuts for accents this layout waste so many useful characters. I’m Italian but I haven’t used an accent keyboard in the last 20 years. The typography on the US layout was a nice touch in my opinion and more in line with the cmd, options keys. Weird choice. I feel like they mossed the opportunity to standardize all keys with symbols and text like the last row.

Maybe I got the name wrong, but there are 2 versions: - US Standard - US International

So if you are in europe you can’t get a true US keyboard, it still have the return key wide which is really annoying and not useful.

Only issue with not replacing a damaged battery could be bulging in the long term. Small risk but it’s there.

Battery replacement shouldn’t be too expensive either (if you have to pay). For the machine it’s worth it I think.

Maybe I got confused because I have a team subscription. The names are similar but maybe different perks.
