Yeah, once you get used to typing on a keyboard you don't really need anything else. I got blank caps for my keyboard because I thought it looked neater. Memorising a row of climate options isn't that bad. If you mix buttons and dials it's even easier. If the manufacturer thinks of accessibility they'll also add tactile bumps and such and make it accessible for people who don't have great vision too.

Lol as someone who touch types but sometimes has to look down for F-key locations and which symbols are attached to which numbers, this would drive me mad.

That's fair! Looking at my work computer's keyboard, I'd go nuts if that was the case too. This keyboard has it clustered in groups of four though, so it's not that challenging. Plus I rarely use more than two or three function keys on my personal computer.

F keys are in groups. It's easy to see which is which workout text.

Symbols are in the category of layout learning.

I had a blank keyboard once. This was so long ago that it was probably a manufacturing fluke but I really liked it. Though whatever the caps say didn't really affect the use in any way.
