Blank Keyboard

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the then-switch-to-dvorak dept.

Raynach writes "A friend of mine recently sent me a link for Das Keyboard, the keyboard for UberGeeks. This keyboard is unique in that it has no inscriptions on the keys, which the maker touts will make you type 100% faster in a few weeks since it will keep you from looking at the keyboard. This keyboard also features individually weighted keyswitches, "The keys are divided into groups and their feedback springs are weighted differently; from 35 grams to 80 grams, which correspond to the strength of the finger that touches the keys." But is this "UberGeek" keyboard really worth the high price tag?"

    If so you're a schmuck!

    Maybe you'll think differently of me for my keyboard, but you'll still respect me for my skillz. I can see this keyboard as a teaching device to more efficent keyboarding but over all the entire "style in computing" thing went out with me after the Commodore 1541 II drive.

    who says it's a windows key? It's an asterisk on my anykey, though it can be macro'd to ctrl+esc if you really want it to be.

    Raynach says they got it "recently". Why don't they tell us whether they type 100% faster, after a few weeks. That would be a clue as to whether it's worth the expense.
