Dang, Mu! You drive a hard bargain! But I admire a man who has the courage to stand by his convictions!

I only just now noticed that the only keys that are sculpted on the Hi-Pro are the 61 alphacluster keys. All of the other 43 keys are "flat row 3". Interesting design choice.

They didn't sculpt the arrowcluster, the navcluster, the functioncluster and the numbercluster? Silly boys.

Actually, the argument for sculpting rows only really applies to the main 60% block. I prefer consistency across the board, too. For aesthetics and because it's what my fingers also expect. But the concept of a home row is lost once you go right of the Return key, and I use the fact in my R2R4 arrow keys, against the alphas' grain. Row 3 arrows aren't great, but not as bad as row 3 alphas.
