Lol as someone who touch types but sometimes has to look down for F-key locations and which symbols are attached to which numbers, this would drive me mad.

That's fair! Looking at my work computer's keyboard, I'd go nuts if that was the case too. This keyboard has it clustered in groups of four though, so it's not that challenging. Plus I rarely use more than two or three function keys on my personal computer.

F keys are in groups. It's easy to see which is which workout text.

Symbols are in the category of layout learning.

I had a blank keyboard once. This was so long ago that it was probably a manufacturing fluke but I really liked it. Though whatever the caps say didn't really affect the use in any way.
