Can’t even remember how many sleepless nights I’ve spent trying to guess the logic behind the arrangement of keys on a QWERTY keyboard. As it turns out, the entire layout was a mere accident. And although the fact whether the layout has any effect on the maximum typing speed is debatable; the fact remains it is downright odd.
There may still be hope for those who are not slave to this weird arrangement and would rather have ‘ABCD’ right at the top. But why only ‘ABCD’ or ‘XYZ’ or any other key arrangement for that matter? Fujitsu’s LiberTouch keyboard allows you to arrange the keys as you like them. This fully customizable keyboard (the keyword here being ‘fully’) lets you have fun by placing the keys wherever you want to.
LiberTouch is a semi-modular system that comes bundled with a neat little tool that removes and places the keys at your discretion. Even the sound of keys is adjustable. The keyboard has a single USB port and with the ability to take out each and every key it is pretty easy to clean up as well.
No word when it will be out or how much it will hurt your paycheck. Keep watching this space.
Just can’t wait to get one and end the curse of QWERTY once and for all!
