My biggest pet peeve with modern keyboard design, is the oversimplified and ugly design of the Menu key (also that the Menu key is seen as “useless”, but that could be it’s own post)

Look, this is what the Menu key looks like on older keyboards. I really like this design, it’s a nice representation of what the key does. I feel like most people could understand the Menu key’s function just from the label. Meanwhile…

This is the modern design; it’s the same basic design, but without the highlighted line and cursor, I feel the symbol doesn’t communicate the key’s function that well. I think it looks too abstract and simple. I feel like most people don’t even know what the Menu key is or what it does, mainly because of this design.
