because you are used to something that is different. a mac user would have similar issues moving to windows.
Here's another couple of things I noticed that were missing, over the brief weekend: the keyboard has a "delete" key, that is really a backspace key on a PC, and no "forward delete" key (which is really the "delete" key) on a PC. And, there is no "home" key. Maybe those are things that I can modify or use some kind of shift "apple" key for, but frankly, who has time to learn all of these things?
fn+delete = forward delete (this one admittedly is not obvious).
fn+cursor keys = home/end/pageup/pagedown. and if you look at those keys you will see home/end/pageup/pagedown written on them in a color that matches the fn key.
space is limited on a laptop keyboard, so lesser used keys need a modifier key. however, you can always plug in a full sized usb keyboard (and it need not be from apple).
I am still in the 14 day grace period, so I should have any trouble returning it... I hope!
you might have a restocking fee, depending on where you bought it.
