I like the idea of indented keys as a clear sensory differentiator. It’s a nice nudge to tell you, “You’re in the right spot.”

Same for the pronounced bump on the home row.

The switch is to choose between one of two Bluetooth devices. I agree the placement of the USB label was confusing there.

True but if this keyboard is your daily driver those sunk keys are going to get dirty quickly and cleaning them well would be more difficult than a simple flat key with a small tactile bump.
