New key style
It would be nice if these key graphics didn't hog so much vertical space. I'm suggesting we scale it down a bit, like wp:Template:Keypress. For comparison, see:

Enter versus Enter.

Also, I think we should add font-weight:normal and font-style:normal to the style so the letter doesn't get bolded or italicized (like in control tables). — najzere T 23:45, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Current uses two images through a CSS class to build the outer border of the regular text. Is that done the same way, or is it just a css border style or something? -- Prod (Talk) 18:58, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * They both use a span with border and background color set. The only change needed would be to replace what's currently in MediaWiki:Common.css for the "keyboard_button" class with the new styles. We can get bogged down in details after we decide if we even want to change it. — najzere T 19:30, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I like the smaller size, and as long as we keep usage the same it shouldn't be a problem, assuming the community agrees. -- Prod (Talk) 19:59, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The smaller size is good when used within a guide, but when used in comparison to joypad controls (such as Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas/Controls) they may appear a bit 2nd class, and I've seen more guides with control pages than using the keyboard setting in a guide so I'm going to vote we keep the current. On the side, I don't think specific control buttons should be used in any guide as "press use, to open the door" would apply across all platforms and consoles, in comparison to "press Enter, to open the door" - Trevman 22:08, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
