Anyone who knows how to touch type, and I don't just mean those who intentionally learnt it, I mean anyone who's been typing for a long time; anyone who knows how to touch type is no doubt aware of the little nubs on the F and J keys of your keyboard. These are supposedly to help you find the home row without actually looking at your keyboard, although I guarantee you've never consciously used them for this purpose.
However, as they are emplyed near universally, it's amazing how off putting it can be to have them missing. The keyboard on the Avid doesn't have them, and it's so easy to get lost on that thing. They might have been intended to help you find your home position, but in reality, they act like keyboard GPS - they're a point you can work from, even if you do it totally subconsciously.
It probably also doesn't help that the letters on the Avid keyboard play second fiddle to the myriad incomprehensible symbols that populate the keys.
