QWERTY

[Nightwolf]

what that mean?
the second one,

[Arrow]

Leet Layout

[Blizzard]

And his apostrophes look like this `

He does that on purpose to be special, but Blizzard probably has the normal apostraphe key somewhere too.

Of course I do. SHIFT + # = '

=P

[Maglor]

Lol, am i the only one that uses an AZERTY keyboard?

[Malson]

Probably.

[Maglor]

AZERTY is way cooler! Only counterstrike doesn't support AZERTY, so when i want to type ',' it displays 'm' and so on...

[Blizzard]

Lol, am i the only one that uses an AZERTY keyboard?

How about DVORAK?

I tried out a Dvorak keyboard. Man, did that feel weird.

[Yossy]

Have you ever seen a Japanese keyboard?  The keys have three commands each instead of two.  I can't help wondering about the dynamics of that.

Most laptops have that as well, Yossy. There are shift functions, and then FN key functions, though not on every key.

For example, there's no numberpad on a laptop, so they place one over on the right side of the keyboard. Over

7 8 9 0
u i o p
j k l ;
m   . /

When the shift key is pressed, they become

& * ( )
U I O P
J K L :
M   > ?

and when the FN key is pressed, those keys become

7 8 9 /
4 5 6 *
1 2 3 -
0   . +

No kidding. I can't even load the picture on dialup due to its effing file size.

That's insane.

This keyboard has issues.

[Roph]

Actually, that keyboard hardly looks well made to be honest.

I used to have a keyboard that was split down the middle, the keys were seperated and slightly to an angle. When I started I was a crap typer, and when I finally got rid of it maybe 4 years later, I had the typing speed I have now :3

QWERTY does fine for me, I can keep up a decent amount of letters typed in a second pretty easily, which is fine for me. Plus it'd be pretty gay to be into any other keyboard layout when the rest of the world uses QWERTY, you suck on almost any keyboard ever except your own.

I was thinking about how stupid it would be not to use qwerty... then I thought "hey i'll post about it in the QWERTY topic on crankeye...."



Some of the recent mac laptops allowed you to rearrange the keys and layout settings

Lol Maltron... This is also an Maltron: http://www.maltron.com/images/press/maltron-mouthstick-keyboard1.jpg
Dialup version: http://www.maltron.com/images/keyboards/maltron-mouthstick-keyboard1m.jpg

They are special designed keyboards though.
The first one is designed for people using a mouthstick for typing.
The second one is designed for people only able to use their left hand.

So isn't it possible that the one shown before are for people with semi-crippled hands?


I wouldn't like to change to Dvorak.
There is the issue with most keyboards being QWERTY
There also is the issue with me, when programming, giving my class and variable names designed for QWERTY. <- Super nerdy 
I would hate to change them.

Dude, those Maltron keyboards are awesome.

[SexualBubblegumX]

I'm sticking with mah qwerty, because I'm just lazy.

[Yossy]

Yeah, same here.

[Blizzard]

QWERTZ rulez.

[Dragonfly]

If you used QWERTY for long long long, then it's a stupid decision to go for a new typing style, with a new keyboard, cause your fingers get used to the keys, you would start typing everything wrong.

For instances, I can now type blind with nearly no mistakes, however, if I get a new keyboard (Even if it's an other Qwerty) I have to get used to it, I'll start making typo's and such. I hate it. So I am staying with my new keyboard, that's now like 10 years old (It still types like a baby, I lub it )
