What's the deal with the "Space Bar" key so wide?

I mean, just look at it! It took five keys of that space!..... If they made it small a narmal sized like all other keys, they would add more keys on your keyboard, right?.... *sighs*:)

It's so you can reach it from any position on the board when touch-typing.

That's it, that's the reason. End of thread.

Yeah but since you're hitting it after every word you type (well unless you're commenting on Youtube anyway), it would be annoying if it was smaller.

So thats its easily accessible with the thumb when you are writing with the typing system.

The thumb is not a finger that can move around as easily as the rest.

I go to the space bar to get crunk and pick up alien chicks. Slimey tenticles ftw!

Look at how many times you used it just to type that one statement, though.spazzx625

What do you mean, End of Thread?!... I need more answers to that!:D

so you can reach it

Well, it is the 'space' bar.

I like the space bar the way it is. It's like a metaphor... for something...

It takes toooooo much space! Shrink it!

[QUOTE="double_decker"][QUOTE="spazzx625"]Look at how many times you used it just to type that one statement, though.spazzx625

I never noticed that before... It is bigger.... Bigger then the left 'shift' key... But I never use the right 'shift'.... What kind of madness is that?!

There's a perfectly logical reason as to why the space bar is longer. To quote Tolkien,

One key to rule them all

One key to find them

One key to bring them all together;

and in the darkness, bind them.

So both your thumbs can touch it at the same time when touch typing.markop2003

Dude, I can tap all other keys just fine. and I did't even have to look!

Yeah...That's why the right 'shift' key is bigger, too :Pspazzx625

The space bar doesn't bind things together, it spaces them out.

The SPACE bar needs its SPACE.

It binds words into sentences.

You can try taking the shift key you don't use, and put in spacebar's place. See if you think that will work. Just try not to kill yourself pulling the keys out of the keyboard. It can be dangerous...

Hey now, Im not not gonna do that... in the future, the keyboard-layout will change. I believe. and I have seen a new Apple laptop without a keyboard. it's true.

If the layout will chage, can the 'M' and the 'N' key switch places? I always found it annoying.

I can barely hit the space bar now. I think they need to make it bigger.

when typing, your two thumbs naturally sit close to the bottom middle of keyboasrd so they could easily make it smaller.

The "windows" key was a useless idea.

The tilda key is pretty useless too.

The Apple wireless keyboard has a fairly short space bar. But they over did the economising when they got rid of backspace (it's function delete)

It's so you can reach it from any position on the board when touch-typing.

That's it, that's the reason. End of thread.
