I’m using it to mean the dead space between the keys. By my definition, the MacBook keyboard has significant gaps, and virtually all other keyboards (including my beloved iceKey) have almost none. It’s not possible on the iceKey to accidentally press the space between two keys and end up hitting just one or neither. With the MacBook keyboard I did this all the time, especially when trying to press Command and Option at the same time.

However, while the iceKey I'm using does have decent sized gaps, the usable space on the keys is rather small. I agree with Fred on the key spacing.

The gaps between the keys on either a Macbook Pro or pre-chiclet desktop keyboard are twice as big. They're just less obvious.
