All sons of bi***** started making this spaced-between-keys keyboard for no apparent reason, and now neither can you find a desktop one or a laptop which does not have it! I have this spaced ****!
There were a lot of options like this : https://www.trust.com/en/product/17364-elight-led-illuminated-keyboard
for a small amount of money, but now all I can find are this "spaced" models. Lookaround in Aliexpress, Amazon...there has to be something left. Try with low-profile keyboard or something like that.

Oh. so what you mean,  fresh_start102, is that you are looking for a low-profile keyboard that does not have "chiclet" keys?

Sounds like they want a keyboard with no gutter spacing between the blocks of keys?

there's going to be gutter  no matter which keyboard, the actual stem and profile may Appear to have more or less seam,  but underneath you've got lots of in between space..

The spacing to a certain degree reduces errors .
