Keys on Optimus Maximus keyboards have individual LCD screens. Quite pricey last time I checked.

> non tech savvy people

Tech, in many situations that intersect with non-tech people, is now some form of touchscreen with an onscreen keyboard.

Exceptions are corporate HR departments, whose hardware, software, and flow seem to ignore the fact that phones are the primary Internet device now, not PCs like it was in the 90s.

If your actual job requires you to use a PC, you probably simply just need to learn to use a keyboard because the apps you are using are going to be complex to, e.g. Office suite, etc.



> you probably simply just need to learn to use a keyboard

it's not the keyboard, it's the meaning 'RET' has for a particular form. It can be a per field 'accept then go next' it can be 'validate the local group', 'validate the main form and submit it back', 'accept a partial choice but don't change focus'. That's why the hint is brilliant, it removes confusion.

Also people who need this knowledge are never given good tutors. It's mostly "deal with it, and be fast or else.."
