There are exceptions to look out for: the Das Keyboards for example are a pain to clean because removing the keycaps can damage the mechanical switches. The manual suggested using compressed air and shaking the keyboard around upside-down to get the grit out :rolleyes:. |
I don't know how typewriters work, but maybe they are staggered so that a bar can reach from the center of each key to the top of the keyboard. (still typing in Dvorak, very slowly)

"Easier to type with! Easier on the hands!" But maybe no one bothered to try and improve their product, I really don't know for sure. It seems completely nonsensical to me, but, well, since when has the corporate world ever made much sense! :D The comic was fun, though. I liked the little Linux pengiun. Quote:
But on another point, I understand your warning, but must protest that if you are warning me to not make nasty posts, you should also be warning him: Quote:

But I apologize, again, to unSpawn, I must have scrolled right past the post where you addressed Smeeze. Thank you. |
And I haven't heard that an ABCD keyboard is supposed to be better.

There is really no advantages from switching from qwerty. And i got annoyed from this is better then that posts so i posted something annoying back. |
But it says that Dvorak is supposed to be better, and I do agree that the letter placement feels more comfortable. So when I can I switch the layout and type stuff, like right now, and I will see if I get used to it and like it.

I love QWERTY for general typing.. Punctuation marks are right where I want them, numbers are out of the way, the letter controls are all setup so I can control them with my left pinky.
The point when it gets difficult is typing special chars like ()[]{}\/:";' because my right pinky has been broken too many times to actually stretch over there. I've been curious about a new keyboard design, especially one that would make it easier to type symbols for programming languages. Those are routinely the only typing errors I'll make. Everything's flowing perfectly, then I type [ instead of ], then backspace, then [ instead of ] again you know.. It's poor positioning for those charaters. I think a smaller spacebar would be better, because you could move those chars to the spacebars level. I only use my left thumb to space anyhow, so I could use the right for the punctuation. (either that, or replace the rightshift key which I never use either.) |

And aside from that, there is siginifigant scientific evidence that suggests Dvorak is eaiser on the hands of the typist. You don't want to believe it? Fine: I don't care, your entitiled to your own opinion. You want to share that opinion? Fine: This is an open forum. But do it in a mature way. "I don't think there is any evidence to suggest using a keyboard layout other than QWERTY has any advantages." Want to argue your views? Fine, post some evidence: I'm always up for some constructive critism. But, at the risk of action by a moderator: I will reiterate a again: your posts were nothing more than meaningless, negative stupidity. Finally, if you were so annoyed by the subject matter of the thread, then why did you even bother to post? |
The original top of the thread was " affordable non-staggered keyboard ".
I will not post any more in this thread since it will just make a pointless flamewar worse. |
And there wasn't any flamewar until you came along and startem mocking us.
