The total device is considerably smaller than the N810, hence the keyboard is too.

When you shrink the total area of a keyboard, you generally have 2 options:
  • Less keys
  • Shrink keys

Unless you have pencil shaped fingers, option 2 just isn't very comfortable

It was a lot easier to use this keyboard then the one on my n810. Better shaped keys and less pressure needed.
