They went back to the correct layout on newer models
Comment on Thinkpad for the win
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoHo consumer equipment is pretty trash to be honest. Even their “business” models.
I can’t stand Lenovo due to their Fn and CTRL key swapping places, dell is my go to for last 10 years.

Damage was done. I don’t use Lenovo anymore.

you can swap their locations on bioslevel and never think about it again (unless one of your colleagues actually reads the labels, gets it wromg and you have to explain it to them)

I know, but I don’t want to have to. Why can’t they just match every other keyboard I’ve used my whole life? Wouldn’t cost them anything, in fact I’d argue it was more effort to put a bios setting for it. CTRL is always bottom left key, no question. This is akin to changing homerow keys and telling yo how to fix it in bios although the keys will still physically not match. Just wasted energy.
