You got to be kidding me! An alphabetical keyboard?!

More Info:

http://www.alphaboard.com/


Research consistently shows that Qwerty and Dvorak keyboards outperform alphabetical layouts. The most common keys you type are not conveniently ordered in the alphabetic layout. As a Dvorak user, I found it reprehensible that a company would use the arguments against the Qwerty to dupe users into buying a piece of crap.

Thoughs?

If I come across any research I'll post it here.

thats just dumb... how can you type on it... must be a hella lot harder :P

I guess it's like all things - you get used to it with use... I suppose...
Personally, I wouldn't - because I wouldn't use it... my fingers took long enough to get used to where the keys are on THIS keyboard... lol

its just a matter of getting used to it.....but i guess this alpha keyboard will be easier to type

to each there own as the saying goes, atleast someone is trying something new.

Dvorak was worse enough, but now there's an alphabetical board too? Crazy!

I sure hope they did ergonomics tests for these keyboards. I don't mind re-learning a new keyboard layout, as long as they make my data entry faster.

It is good that there are different types, though.
Makes it easier for everyone to find what they find the most useful.

yes well alfa your self here
