    Those keyboards with the letters on the front would work wonder for the wife. Her typing style removes the lettering off the keys in no time. I got her a new Logitech and letters gone after six months.

    Some of these remind me the old Norton 102 keyboard I had in the 80's. That thing was loud!

    I've found that when I've used German & French keyboards long term. I'd go back to a QWERTY and the for first 10 minutes or so I'd get letters transposed.

    I don't touch type either, at least I never learned to, I've just been typing so long I know where all the keys are. I suspect a lot of the home computer generation are like that.

    Every keyboard I use has a shiny patch on the spacebar where my right thumb either rests or hits it.

    It's the one digit that doesn't get used if you touchtype.

    Ah the first one. They were the best keyboards ever IMO. Would hate to work in an office full of them going at it though lol....

    Fan of the mechanical keyboard here as well BTW.
