Wait - it looks like you have to use Fn-Q or Fn-` for ESC?

That's the original key mapping, yeah, but it's very easy to change in the software it comes with. I immediately re-mapped it so that the escape key works by itself.

You can change literally any key mapping you like, and do some wild stuff with it. I've got shortcuts for taking different types of screenshots mapped to key combos that are easy to reach, for example, because I take tons of screenshots for work.

Yeah, that is deal-breaker. I have Caps-Lock assigned to ^C and won't be moving that to Escape...

That's a big waste of the caps lock key. I use it as a modifier key for all kinds of frequently used macros. It's very easy to press two key combos with left hand alone like capslock+q or capslock+space, etc.
