So I guess that keyboard will only be able to enter a W five times each football season and won't be able to spell "bowl" ?

You'll definitely have to type by feel, as the hunt & peck method isn't going to work with that thing. You can't see what the keys say....

I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

Let me guess...
You got it at Wal-mart, THE premiere boutique for all Texas related sporting goods?
If you're lucky, they'll have another 50% sale after a second straight losing season!

Nice, but the keys are in the wrong places; I used one of these in College. The vowels are handier, and most words have at least one

This is the "Right hand-only .... to see the Left hand only or the 2-hander, click link above.
Many Operating Systems have key-remapping now, but back then I had to pay about $200 for one from Northgate which had microswitches on it for which configuration you wanted. A 2-handed Secretary at an oil company won a speed typing competition with a Dvorak keyboard ... over 300 words per minute
The old typewriters got keys stuck if you typed fast, the qwerty layout is to prevent typing fast; the Dvorack layout facilitates typing fast by laying out the most commonly used characters on or near the finger rest position/home line so everyone can type REAL fast..... Still , I only type half-fast no matter what keyboard I use.

Re: For all you Aggies...
For those of us who took 15 years to get fluent and be able to type fast with QWERTY, I'm not about to try and learn a whole new keyboard map. It took me too long to get comfortable with this one.RPB wrote:Nice, but the keys are in the wrong places; I used one of these in College.

I guess I have no future as a secretary at an oil company.....

The keyboard only works well for fantasy and role play gaming. First person shooters and military games aren't compatible.

Ah Dvorak, I experimented with that for a little while using a QWERTY keyboard. Wasn't worth the frustration. I got my inspriation from a programming instructor of mine that was trying it out and had done rather well with it.
