keyboard dimensions of new Macbook 16"

I was wondering if there's a keyboard available with the same dimensions and spacing between keys as the one that comes with the new Macbook 16". I use my macbook at work but when I come home I'm thrown off by the keys that come with the iMac. Any help in putting me in the right direction would be super appreciated, thanks!

Want a Larger Keyboard Are there any keyboards that are larger in size than the smallish one that came with my Mac? It isn't that I want more features, I just want a larger keyboard. I feel the one I have is just too small. I thought I would get used to it but I haven't . I will buy an Apple product but are any of them really larger or do they just have extra features? I looked and saw the measurements but I'm still not sure. Will any of them available now fit or go with my old 2017?

Is there any Mac keyboard in the traditional size, shape, and layout? Forum forces you to choose a topic and there is no topic for this I have been searching far and wide for a Mac-specific keyboard that is like a standard plain old keyboard from the past 30+ years. The following is an example, and it's from a company that was traditionally a Mac-only peripheral supplier (Kensington). https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Mouse-Keyboard-Desktop-K72436AM/dp/B009QFKFWS/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=kensington+keyboard&qid=1566497750&s=gateway&sr=8-5 I understand that any Windows keyboard will work with a Mac, but the Mac gets confused by the key layout and thus the command (alt) and option (windows) keys will be reversed. That is not desirable, but the shape and layout of every single Mac-specific keyboard I have ever seen is similarly undesirable. I am currently using an Apple-branded slim bluetooth keyboard and I absolutely hate it in every possible way from the key layout to the razor thin design. I've been using it a year and simply cannot get used to it, so it literally reduces my typing speed by about 25% and my speed for other keyboarding functions far more. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This gives the overall dimensions but there is a picture which you can print off and estimate the keyboard size.

On the 2021 16-inch MBP M1 Pro, the keyboard is approximately 4.5 x 11 inches.
