Talk:Usability for Nerds/Hardware/Keyboard

Agner, here is a next step for you after learning touch typing: https://www.trulyergonomic.com/store/index.php Unlike "traditional" keyboards, this one has correct key positioning.

Essentially, this may serve as an example, that many were fed with the information, which, as they assumed, had been true. There are many reasons for that (many mistakes, misconcepts, mercantile interests - as opposed to labeling it as "conspiracy"), and I listed them in some other comments - the list is far from being complete, you could greatly extend it from your practice as well. In the light of such considerations, many of your statements may be regarded as misleading - due to misleading information in the sources you used, and in what you essentially believed - it is the case where your vast experience plays against you, putting the things what were BELIEVED to be objective in a subjective and rather biased category. This is my share of rather heavy criticism I was talking about.

In the case of keyboards, the "correct" layout mentioned above, may be applied to the cases when you use 10 fingers to type, and actually may be slower, when you use only 2. However if you type a lot, I assume, typing with 2 fingers is out of the question, so the correct layout is as stated above.

When talking about tactile feedback, I prefer keyboards with relatively small tactile feedback, but faster - but the disadvantage is higher percentage of mistakes when I get tired.
