That means those keys don't do anything. If they did, voiceover would speak the 
action performed when pressing those keys.

Hi, Group.
I purchased a pre-owned Apple Magic Keyboard today. It has 14 keys on the top 
row with the first key bigger twice as much. When I turned VoiceOver Help on 
and checked the keys, the two keys right to the big one were for adjusting 
brightness. Some of the keys did not speak. One of the keys was for mute.
Is this the original layout or the modified one?
