Sick

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....

NOW you're talkin!

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.

I can't even think 300 words per minute, much less type it!

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.

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.

You'd have to use something other than WASD, that's for sure.

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.
