    Starling keyboard size.... ?

    What percentage size of a normal keyboard is the Starling ?

    The new Starling looks rather awesome but I'm concerned about my big man hands.

    I believe it is 94%. It's very easy to get used to. I didn't notice it to be perceptibly different from a fullsize laptop.

    I'm not sure about exact percentages, but I did measure the keys on the new Starling. In relation to the current Pangolin (PanP7) the keys are 1.5mm less tall/deep (from front to back) and .5mm less wide.

    I personally like the Starling keyboard very much. I have done a LOT of typing on mine (particularly in the past school year) and find it very comfortable even on the long haul. Also, the 'learning curve' was very low, and none of the keys feel 'squished' to me.
