Hi. As someone who can only use this keyboard due to hemiplegia and a host of injuries, I find your comments alternately funny and frustrating. Just because you’re able-bodied, don’t assume these technologies aren’t a godsend to somebody else. See review: hand2mouth.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/one-hand-keyboard-maltron/

Good thing they included two Windows keys so close together!

This is a great site to practice typing: play.typeracer.com/. They have user-submitted quotes from movies, books, games and songs. I’m up to 75 from 60wpm.

This is for a select few people that want to master typing with one hand and utterly fail at all normal keyboards for the rest of their lives. I’ll stick to being able to coax over 120 words a minute on any computer I sit at, thanks.

Kind of makes me wonder, though, why is the “U” key so separate? Is it supposed to be symbolical? Like – “U are all alone” or something?

@ColombianMonkey: I can’t even imagine the ambidexterity required to wank with one hand and type with the other. It boggles the mind.

@Shanghai_Factor: So, it probably took you about 16 seconds to type that, eh? @ColombianMonkey: Yeah... this would be really useful to those that jerk to web-cam chat shit.

I type 100+ wpm. This keyboard just looks like a pain in the ass. STOP TRYING TO REINVENT STUFF. Keyboards are fine, use your efforts on something else.
