They&amp;#x27;re actually *gasp* &lt;i&gt;listening to their users&lt;/i&gt; again. There&amp;#x27;s news that the new 16 inch M1 MBP&amp;#x27;s will even have physical function keys and more ports.

It looks like there&amp;#x27;s a big key where there would be space above the left &amp;#x2F; right keys on the most recent one. I&amp;#x27;ve got one of the interim ones where the left &amp;#x2F; right keys are full size so it&amp;#x27;s difficult to know where they are by touch, and I&amp;#x27;m still irritated by that. I hope they haven&amp;#x27;t gone back again.</text></comment>
