Ok, how many of you console gamers out there are masters at whizzing through the key sequences required to completely crush your opponent or do that cool trick? I'll be generous and assume "most."
Now, explain to me how in a matter of hours, you master the up,up,left,X,B,Y,right,down,left required for your favorite special move (without looking), yet typing on a similar device is:
unrealistic to expect learning something different from QWERTY
expecting people to touch type is rediculous (do you look while gaming?)
learning a new layout "flusters" people (come on, you addicts buy every cool new console out there, most with different layouts)
And as far as "ten hours of marathon gaming can kill my hands" goes, skip the gaming death grip while typing.
