Dr Brain Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 If you need a one handed layout, just use one of the Dvoraks, they come in Left and Right handed versions (as well as the totally awesome standard Dvorak). Then there's no need to drag around a keyboard with you, since all windows computers can be easily switched.
JoWie Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Actually, QWERTY is a load of !@#$%^&* QWERTY was just designed to avoid typewriter jams
»Lynx Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 One handed keyboards would be useful at work (provided you're not ALWAYS on the computer), however as a long term kinda thing.. well, that's hardly useful. -Lynx

I'd be confused for a long time if I was to use that. Especially since I often use other computers like at school or whatever.
Drake7707 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 AZERTY ftw ^^ Useful for someone who lost a hand
Lera Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 lol... i was at subway the other day, saw a guy with only one arm, no legs
Samapico Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 well, it's just what he needs to eat subways
FMBI Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Actually, QWERTY is a load of !@#$%^&* QWERTY was just designed to avoid typewriter jams I'll be honest with you, I think QWERTY's actually worked out better than ABCDetc. The fact that it's gimmicky means that if you type a lot (as 90% of the people under 30 do these days), then you actually get to know it better than if you just knew it from the start, because you develop reflexes or whatever. I think. o_O Edited October 2, 2008 by Finland My BorgInvasion
Samapico Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 qwerty is better than abcd... of course... that's not the point. There are other configurations that result in overall less movements of your fingers and such http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTYhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboardhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Colemak
L.C. Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Actually, QWERTY is a load of !@#$%^&*Quoted for truth. I still have yet to get a DVORAK version of my keyboard. >.<
»Lynx Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 lol... i was at subway the other day, saw a guy with only one arm, no legs Nice thing to LOL at there.. Anyway, it's all about what you're used to. It takes quite a while to get good at touch typing, but if you only want to get really fast at typing, qwerty probably isn't for you - however, for usability (depending on where you live) qwerty is the one... ps. azerty is a !@#$%^&*er, and I hate it. -Lynx
Dr Brain Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Took me a couple of weeks to learn Dvorak. Weeks well spent. It's not that hard to switch back to QWERTY when you're typing at someone else's computer, and even though I'm slower than I used to be, it's not like I'm writing essays on someone else's box.

JDS Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 that light keyboard is pretty !@#$%^&*ing awesome
Hate The Fake Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 i personally like http://www.productappeal.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/08/09/bluetooth_virtual_laser_keyboard.jpg http://www.techgadgets.in/images/btc-9251-cheetah-kit.jpg
rootbear75 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 that bluetooth infrared laser keyboard is stupid imo. Yes you can type anywhere and on any surface, but you dont get the tactile feel of a standard keyboard.
