Affordances are good, but they can't be the only consideration.

Like what is someone that doesn't know how to read and write English going to do with a keyboard? Would pictograms on everything actually be better? Or course not.

No they don't.


They definitely come with alternate keycaps [0] or you can get replacements for your language.

My current keyboard has entirely blank keycaps, so it's not like the symbols are even necessary.

You think I'm serious?

My initial comment is awkwardly phrased, it's ridiculous to infer from that that I think keyboards only come in English.


The way it's worded, it does seem genuine and non-sarcastic. Tone tags (like /s) help clarify in these situations.
