this is allen, how are you? ^^ I am 23 I have a question about an idea I see I came here because I don't know where to ask for help, I asked Chris and he kindly ask me to ask for your opinions. The idea is in creating a keyboard, I drew it based on a hp computer. Its for righty to naturally learn to use his/her left hand through typing, and training of the whole brain. A reversed keyboard : D
Questions (1) Could you understand and see it? 2D and 3D? Sincerely I truly believe this will help lots of people. From a left hand visionist. |

I dont see how this product is beneficial in any way, if anything i feel it would be detrimental, everyone wants to touch type and that comes form knowing where they keys are by shifting them you will slow down or confuse the typist. As far as learning how to use your left hand I don't see how this helps, If anything it would just be another keyboard layout to learn, you learn it, and you still cant do much with your left hand. I don't see how you've made a point here other than how much we tend to dislike change. Why would we try and change the standard keyboard for the English language used all over the world? Dear Readers and ryebread The standard keyboard will not be changed, if I had made you guys feel uncomfortable. Its simply creating a reverse version of the standard keyboard, and let it have its tiny place out there. Some users may find it comfortable and to go back and forth. : ) Sincerely, Allen I just thought it was a bandwagon response. Hi Closet : ) What does 'bandwagon' mean? Hello Allen. It's a do as others do type marketing technique. Where it does promote solidarity it doesn't promote practical analysis. Its not that i'm on the bandwagen, i just do not feel that this solution will solve the purposed problem. The problem is to assist consumers into learning to use their left hand more. This is nothing more then just a new keyboard layout, and i do not feel it will support anyone in learning to use their non dominate hand. If your problem was to drive a screw into wood, you would not use a banana to do it. Why? because a banana does not solve that problem. On the other hand if you where hungry, a banana might solve that issue, unless you are craving a nice juicy cheese burger... I think the banana analogy was a little strong, but I get your point. I could see some for it for gaming if not so much for typing.

keyboards can be remapped through software, then you can pop off the keys and place them in the proper locations to match the software remap, as long as the backspace, capslock, enter, and | keys stay in the same place, you can remap the others. |

The idea is to completely shift the keys right to left ^ ^ I may not have given a whole lot of reasons and perspective behind it. So, please if anyone don't mind for light explaination and the idea's whereabout Please click when you have time. ~ Sincerely ~ |

What? Of course I can't understand typing on this. Useless. |

I have to agree with ryebread761 and trueb on this one. I don't see how this makes it any easier to type with your left hand. I regularly type out things with just one hand, sometimes the left, sometimes the right, and I can't see how changing the layout this drastically really improves anything. It'll likely just confuse the average consumer, if you could even get them to try it. People are very specific about the layouts of keyboards. The QWERTY layout didn't just waltz its way into dominance, it's there for a reason. I'm not saying that the principle behind your idea is bad, but if this is how you plan to entertain your idea, it's not going to go very far. Consider taking a step back and re-examining all of your options. Research how people use their keyboards, both left and right handed, and then make a decision about how you want to it to be formatted. |

The premise sounds good at first, but putting the direction keys on the left would be counterintuitive wouldn't it? |

Thanks for all of the wonderful comments. I'm listening. No ^ ^ the letters don't have to be mirrored. : ) I just traced it out like that because I was trying But, In my belief: although, its something as small as keyboard, do affect us in a great way, since we all know how to type. With different languages and key patterns today (language wise) + the QWERTY, creates special combinations of codes. We type using these codes to make words again and again, typewrite, performing task In a one-sided order. That stops us from using our left hand from regulated twist and turns in the left and right fingers |
