I have a feeling the stateside board won't have those extra keys between the alts that the Japanese boards do...]]>Sep 19th 2006 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/
"CHECK OUT THIS NEW KEYBOARD WITH GEAR DRIVE!!!"

Ooooooook...what is gear drive?]]>Sep 19th 2006 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/
Ok, yeah, I guess that would prevent typos.... and also waste entire days of time.]]>Sep 19th 2006 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/

I think the space bar is small because it's a Japanese keyboard, look at the extra keys. Plus Japenese text doesn't use as many spaces.]]>Sep 19th 2006 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/
try this at home kids!

put a finger on the corner of a key and wiggle it. The key moves. Now press down. it has a bit of a sticky feeling to it.

Now what these little gears do is even everything out. So now when you put a finger on the corner of a key is doesnt wobble! Even better is that when you push down on a corner, the key doesn't go down corner first, it all goes down level because each cog has to be at the same height.

I happen to think its a great idea, but i can also see keys breaking a lot more often. and my monthly act of pulling all my keys of to clean out the breadcrumbs will become a bit difficult...]]>Sep 19th 2006 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/
Someone told me this keyboard was designed by BMW. If you ever see a BenQ A122 in stores, I reccomend getting it without hesitation.]]>Sep 19th 2006 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/Sep 19th 2006 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/
All you got to do is make large, square spaced out querty keyboards to minimize the probability of an error!

Also, even then, I personally feel that errors are inevitable and i am not sold by their marketing gimmick.

If i use that keyboard and lightning type, Im sure to make some errors... like for example, i have made three errors in writing this passage and had to backspace it...

Just some lame comments that i hope is constructive.

Please tell me you have an AZERTY keyboard, or some other non-English based keyboard?

The Model M is (probably) the best keyboard ever made! You either love it or hate it! :)]]>Sep 19th 2006 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/19/elecoms-gear-drive-keyboard-prevents-typing-errors/
