I remember several people writing in about the 'bendyness' of the keyboard, but they got used to it, so, I guess, you will too....
I'm still on the fence about the 500, but certainly don't need a noisy keyboard like the 500+, (& I don't need 16GB ram, nor a 256GB NVME).
In fact, I've come to the conclusion that it is not a good idea to let RaspiOS, & derivatives, take over the whole drive - they should let the user decide how much of the disk is to be used by the O/S, therefore making upgrading the system less hassle/having to back up & restore all your data every time a new version comes out - this is the normal Linux way to install an O/S.![Cool 8-)]()
