Funny. My two keyboards (AN1x, EX5) are aligned exactly, and by the looks of
it they are the same with.

I can easily cover 16 half notes on either keyboard (an octave and a
quarter, so to say) with thumb and little finger. But I don't have problems
of pressing two keys at the same time; at least, not because of the width of
the keys. :)
