Current keyboards have the finger wells and the sloped sides that give a tactile cue to school you in optimal placement. That amazon one has the same qwerty layout but has a small gap before you double key - the degree of double-key is a function of travel, so it depends on key resistance as to the amount of double keying. There is less of a tactile cue on the hexagonal ones, so if the keys are tender = perhaps more double keys. Some keyboards detect off-axis depression and have a built in brake to stall off-axis depression - does the Amazon have that feature? Without buying one to see and test it, it is hard to say. I am sure the keyboard designers at modern US terminal makers would have far more comments/suggestion and criticisms than I would - perhaps an email to support at Cherry et al, would get a response you can post here? https://www.cherry-world.com/ and a pack of 10 assessed.
