seems to me the only people pushing this are the advocates of the disabled. i’m not saying a keyboard that’s more easily understood shouldn’t be unavailable, by all means, it should be. but also, everyone who types is used to QWERTY, it is what it is. I find it to work just fine, i don’t see an alphabetical keyboard to work any faster/better than this.

How about the the Dvorak Keyboard keyboard started in the 1930 where letters are arranged in the order most used. We should continue to use a 1870 designed keyboard so the keys that a metal do not jam when did you last use one? Some people said the car would not replace the horse! Talking movies will never ketch on there is no facial expression. Personal computers will never ketch on! Yes, lets still bleed people to let out the bad blood, that is why president Lincoln died he had an old doctor of the time when most doctors did not agree with bleeding! Yes and all things will die.

It’s long overdue & welcome. I sympathize with kids who have to type their papers when, in fact, they can’t really type. If it were made for Mac I know many who would be glad to have it. Any chance of that?

What a delight (apart from that it has too many options on each key so the characters are too small for me)
I have used QWERTY for over 20 years. Last year I taught myself Dvorak (the fastest typing keyboard) and within 6 weeks I was typing 3 times faster than QWERTY. In fact (since QWERTY was designed to slow you down) just about ANY keyboard layout would be faster than QWERTY, and the Alphabetic one would also be the fastest to learn. Go for it.
Oh and in case you are wondering, it takes about 3 weeks to learn a new keyboard, even if you are a proficient QWERTY user (50wpm plus). If you are hunt-and-peck(less than 20 wpm) it will probably be faster straight away!

This is also a good idea for senior citizens who want to send email but never learned to type. It’s much less frustrating to them. More and more young people are typing on alphabetical keyboards with texting so it’s a reasonable product and should do well. I have a friend I’m going to recommend it to because her father would really like it. Thanks!

I am 55, not disabled, but had to adapt to computers or become unemployed. The layout of the “standard Keyboard ” is what is rediculous. I plan to purchase one of the alphabetic key boards right away.

Almost everyone sends text messages on mobile phones these days and guess what they use an alphabetical keypad! Why we need to have QWERTY format keyboards I don’t know. I look forward to using a new standard alphabetical keyboard as soon as I can get my hands on one.

Why are keys always square. My finger ends are round or oval. And could not the keys be tiered like the old typewriters. That way instead of moving the fingers backwards you move them down to get to the lower row and up instead of forward to get to the upper row.

Yes, as others have said, it is better for special needs children…as well as adults who have had a stroke and get confused by the order of the letters! I believe this or something similar is used by Speech Language Pathologists all the time

But…where is the space bar??
