I don't know about your 3/50, but our set of 12 or so dimple-tops DO have
sculpted 'f' and 'j' keys; they have a slightly increased concavity. I
noted this immediately the very first time I used one, although to this
day many of my colleagues deny that they can feel this; the shape is
clearly visible.
