Computer Keyboard That Is Customizable
We have been trained to use the QWERTY keyboard for a while and most of us have lived with that without questioning why we have to stick with QWERTY keyboards, instead of myabe ACDIE keyboard?
Well, now, there is a solution for those who don’t like QWERT keyboard layout. There is a customizable computer keyboard for you which is called DX1 keyboard.
“These keys are like blank tapes,” said Pankaj Garg, a software architect at Mountain View, Calif.-based Ergodex, which developed the product. “You can make them whatever you want them to be.”
You can, for example, assign the keys sets of macros for complex and repetitive software commands in any application that uses a keyboard for input. That includes video editing, word processing and graphics packages, as well as games, e-mail programs and Web browsers. What’s more, you can easily juggle from macros in one application to macros in another. Toggle between Photoshop, Excel and “Counter-Strike,”
Do you really like this keyboard?

This is a crappy keyboard for anyone who is used to the standard QWERTY keyboard because of the simple fact that we are all used to using that keymapping, possibly a good idea for the newcomers to typing but I would not reccomend it.

This keyboard is a quirky invention, but i doubt it will have much application for the everyday person. Because everyone is used to the QWERTY keyboard, they won’t want to change just for the sake of a cool new piece of technology. Also, if new typers use this keyboard and get used to it, they will have a hard time adjusting to the standard QWERTY if the need arises.
