Why do some keyboards have a big Enter key?
The key is often called Big-ass Enter because of its size, or Asian enter because it is found on many East Asian keyboards. There have been studies that have shown it to be easier to hit accurately than the ISO and ANSI Return keys.
How do I change the return button on my keyboard?
While on the ANSI keyboard, you can find the return key on the third row, above the right-hand Shift key and below the backslash \ key. On the ISO and JIS keyboard, the return key steps two rows on the keyboard, spanning the second and third rows, located below the BACKSPACE key and above the right-hand Shift key.
Why are the keys on a keyboard offset?
In order to place all the keys in a compact space, typewriters have keys staggered on four or more levels, which allow the key arms to run very close together without having to worry about sticking. Basically, the keyboard is staggered and raised allowing for the little metal bars to not hit each other.
