RE: Really small keyboard
An unexpected benefit of small buttons is that the area to hit with your finger is up to nearly twice the distance between buttons. Comparing this tact-switch keyboard with the nearby thread on a circular keyboard, where the buttons butt up against each other, I know which one I'd prefer.

There's a related design detail in low-travel laptop-style keyboards: the keys are usually bevelled, so the hit area can be larger than the key spacing.

(It does so happen that I have relatively small fingers.)

which does show that the keyboard is really quite small...
