Re: What keyboard do you use for fast typing?

It's true that few people question the layout that has been given them. It is what we learned on, and have typed on all our lives, so why change? Why do we have Smart Phones then, why do we accept MS Office Ribbons, why do we use machines for many things, we did by hand before, why do we change to ...

Re: What keyboard do you use for fast typing?

[...] The problem, to me, is the unreliability of the cheap construction. I wouldn't call a standard layout "inferior". Consider an instrument like the piano. The best pianists in the world still play on a flat row of keys - it is not curved to allow for comfort or supposed ease of use. A...

Re: What keyboard do you use for fast typing?

the utility of a superior product is hard to deny. High performance keyboards carry a greater potential for efficient, consistent typing, which lends itself to greater typing speed. Well said! Why do you exclude ergonomics in this rationale? How can a product made of the best materials but of infer...

Re: What keyboard do you use for fast typing?

So you're basically saying "Keep eating shit every day, because in your life, shit will cross your path from time to time and then you are used to it." I am saying: "Do what is best for you, not what most people are doing when they are just being mindless sheep." Whenever you thi...

Shift is in the home row. it is used most often. Co...

Most people do - but why?

There surely is a perfect way to type. I am also sure, that we haven't found it yet. I am definately sure, that QWERTY with any own "doing it for years" system ist NOT optimal. Reasons: ⋅  QWERTY is NOT designed for balance or speed or movement ⋅  all "systems"...
