New Keyboard Has Just 53 Keys

Enigma5O writes to tell us The Tech Zone is reporting on a new style of keyboard with just 53 keys. Departing from the normal QWERTY keyboard setup the 'New Standard Keyboard' designed by John Parkinson measures just 12.5 inches wide x 5 inches deep x 1 inch thick and is arranged in alphabetical order. The keyboard has been designed with ergonomics in mind keeping all keys within easy reach of the home position. The only question is, will everyone be willing to relearn how to type?

    Esperanto, please. No masculine/feminine/neuter, no irregular verbs, only one way to form plurals...

    SO THE F*** WHAT?

    Damn.. you dupe hounds are pathetic.

    YOU move along. Find a useful purpose in life besides finding Slashdot dupes.

    Nobody gives a damn. If you read this already in the past, then skip the f***ing item.

    Some of us may have not been reading Slashdot a year ago... you're going to point out year-old dupes?

    Get a life...
