  • FrogPad keyboard...

    An interesting new concept in the keyboard:



    Do all your typing with one hand. Every pr0n freaks dream!

    They basically studied the English language and typing habits and placed the 15 most commonly used keys on a small, pda sized keyboard. Then added a shift key to access the other letters, numbers and symbols. Thus you only need one hand to type and the keyboard is virtually clutterless at about the size of the average human hand.

    Alas, they are initially priced at $189 USD. Kind of makes it hard to justify $200 (shipping costs) to get a new keyboard to play with.

    Hmm, there are half querty keyboard where one half (e.g. the querty side) is in actual keys and and the other half is obtained through a shift-key...

    Kind of similar...

    Eiter way, it looks odd to me...

          That's too much for someone in my age group to relearn!

          I already tried to nuke my CPU this week by disconnecting the fan...another keyboard layout is asking alot.

          Anybody actually learned another format?

                  It's just too complicated to relearn it all - and then you're confused at every ordinary qwert keyboard.

                    Nah, I use "dvorak for left-hand" here. Takes no more than two weeks.

                    I did it so I could type, chat, and browse without moving my hand from the mouse=)

                    Can still use qwerty "fluently" too.

                      Well, azerty and qwerty...

                      I'd love to try one of these:
                      Find intelligent, relevant and thought-provoking articles in data, business, technology, science and more. Discover a bigger world, translating data into knowledge.

                      or these
                      Ergonomics keyboards, mice, and foot pedals.

                        Hehe. Both those devices seem cool. But I have no budget for keyboards.

                        Not after having to shell out $50 because Logan got "artistic" with my last one.
