I never had the pleasure of trying one of those keyboards. The 6–7u-long spacebar is a trapping of its typewriter heritage just like QWERTY and staggered keys.

Even on their full-size keyboards with numpads, Apple spacebars are only 5 keys wide. Thumbs are for Command!

Even better: split spacebar! On my daily driver I only have a 1.25u key for my primary space. On the left I have a luxuriously large 2.25u SpaceFn key.
