Laptop Arrow Keys

   I would love to buy another new DS laptop. I'm looking at the 15" models, but totally hate the arrow key configuration. 

I currently have a DS 17" model and the arrow keys are equally spaced next to the other keys which drives me nuts.
When attempting to position one's fingers on the keys, one is required to actually look...It can't be done by just feel alone because they key size and spacing is identical to the surrounding keys.

Am I the only one who has an issue with that? Whether your playing a game or just surfing the web...wouldn't you want to take command of a keyboard without having to look at it?

I would love to see a small space around the arrow keys or move them forward just a touch closer to the user. I'd rather buy a Viper over a Razor, but this is a deal-breaker for me after having to be reminded daily of it with my current system. Even my work Dell laptop separates the keys. 

DS please consider making some modifications to your next models that you roll out.

Thx

	Unfortunately, DS doesn't design the laptops. They are Clevo/MSI laptops distributed by DS. I'm sure they'll pass along your concern since DS is very customer oriented.

	I didn't know that...thanks for the update. I hope they do make some changes next round.

	I wish we could help with a custom design. However, when we have meetings with Clevo at CES, I'll make sure the team lets them know.
