I'm in the US but I saw a photo and the right shift key looks a little squished. That might be annoying as I do use both shifts to type. 
Maybe ill just wait for a pinebook pro to get back in stock Sad I do like the size of the pinebook lol. 

I don't dislike the pinebook keyboard. But I don't like it neither. On one of my pinebooks all keys are working alright, on the other some are harder to press. I mean that 1 of 5 times certain letter won't be written after key press. And some standard keys are "hidden" under FN key (ins, ", '), which is not good for me, who has only one hand to operate the notebook. Fortunately I found out how to remap some keys and add sticky support in swaywm, so it's OK now. The layout and key sizes don't bother me, it's no problem to get accustomed to almost anything in 2 weeks for me.

The touchpad isn't great either. I can't figure out how to make tap-to-click work, so I have to click by hard press the touchpad to hear the click sound to click. I'm missing the tap-to-click feature.  Also the pinch-to-zoom feature annoys me, cause it's getting in the way of 2-finger-scroll (I want to scroll, but zoom is detected) and I can't turn it off.

I've read somewhere that the keyboard and touchpad are better on pinebook pro.

Thanks for your input. I guess i have nothing to complain about if your only using one hand. Maybe i could try the pinebook. I do like the idea of having a very small device Tongue
