It sounds fun, getting a few seconds of comedic value watching colleagues trying to use your machine, but its really annoying - and not smart.

I asked him if I could type on it, and when I did, it seemed like I was hitting all of the wrong keys.

A week or so later I had ordered two of the keyboards for home and work, one of which is pictured below in white.

I decided that having no keys would be a cool little novelty, and I think my impulsiveness payed off - it encourages me not to look at the keys and provides quality entertainment when co-workers attempt to type on it.

It has shortcuts to switch between Qwerty, Dvorak and Colemak, which is awesome.

I purchased a skin for use at work (pictured above), but didnt really like typing on it, so took it off after a few days.

I have the brief, one-sheet A4 manuals lying around in case I forget where a key is (e.g.

F keys, etc.). When I ordered the keyboards, I planned to go straight into Colemak use at home and work.

Keystrokes Accurayc Percentage Install The Layout

The only time I use a Qwerty layout is on my laptop, mainly because Im too lazy to install the layout.

I am still quite fast with Qwerty, but well see how good I am after a few months.

I have been typing with Qwerty all my life, with my own form of touch typing (whatever it may be).

I am running Windows at home and Linux at work (as well as Windows on my laptop, but thats Qwerty so it doesnt count).

I am using TypeFaster to measure my progress, with the Common Words lesson being my test of choice.

For the first few days I was practicing at night since I felt my speed was impeding my work, understandably.

After a week or so of using the keyboard and layout combo, I was comfortable enough that I didnt feel I had to practice.

I still test myself whenever I remember, and thought Id post my results for those who are curious about how practical this kind of transition is.

Some of the more difficult keys for me so far have been g, p, d, h and the symbol keys, since Im using them often.

On this keyboard its easy to see where each finger should be.

For games (the most important part) that might require typing to other players, Ive changed the bindings and play with Colemak.

For others whose bindings havent changed much, I just switch to Qwerty.

The results Im posting are not starting from my first day with the board - I had picked it up a few days prior.

Have you measured your Qwerty speed before you started Its good to have as a reference point for your learning curve.

Thanks. I havent measured my speed with Qwerty properly, but I had a couple of tries on hi-games.net and I think I was slightly upwards of 90 WPM.
