A downside of the proposed keyboard design is that no one will be a!le to pick it up for the first time and use it effectively. Come to think of it, you'd have to learn the layout by repeatedly looking it the back of the device, unless there was some kind of onscreen image to guide you.
- fragmede 17y ago1. "Target market" - I'd assume that most here can touch type. 2. You could display a full size, full screen picture of the keyboard, with all the symbols in the 'right' place. Where your left pinky would be holding the device, the screen would actually be showing the 'a' key.
- tdoggette 17y ago1. Yes, but can you touch type backwards on a new split keyboard layout that you can't look at? There's definitely going to be a learning curve. 2. Okay.
- diN0bot 17y ago1. yes, that's what touching typing means. (i don't get what you mean by backwards. it's not backwards for my fingers and that's what matters.)
- asolove 17y agoAwesome idea- I definitely envision a training or keyboard-visible mode with translucent letters showing you where the keys were and some kind of visual feedback of where you were touching.
