Unless of course one of the patents actually sticks, and then only that keyboard will be on the market, setting whatever price it wants to.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/

Seriously though, once we get tactile feedback working really well, I think tablets are the way to go. Ever watch Star Trek? You don't see them using external hardware to input information!

You can't possibly be comparing a real keyboard (including the Macbook Pro keyboard), to the monstrosity that is the Macbook keyboard!!]]>Jan 22nd 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/Jan 22nd 2008 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/Jan 22nd 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/Jan 22nd 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/

I could type about 105 wpm for a sustained five minutes with minimum mistakes on fairly tough text. I had dreams of hitting 120 to 130 wpm, but I gave up once I started office work because the keyboard feedback varied from machine to machine and it just wasn't necessary for even heavy word processing projects to type at those speeds.

I'd have to say learning Dvorak is a waste of time IMHO.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/22/uh-oh-optimus-united-keys-partners-with-foxconn-to-build-ole/
