ABkey replaces QWERTY keyboard

ABkey, based in Singapore, has a fantastic looking keyboard for those of you who find QWERTY keyboard layouts tedious and unnatural

The ABkey offers an alphabetical layout, with all the common keys in and around the home row. It looks so cool. In fact, the ABkey spec sheet actually lists as the #1 feature: "World's Coolest Keyboard."  Who am I to argue with that?

The patented uniquely grouped alphabetical layout is said to enable touch typing in one hour. Instructions are even provided, with access to online tutor. Did the last keyboard you bought include that? I think not. The flexible V-shape in the premium model reduces fatigue in fingers and wrists and having the most common keys in the home row is expected to double your typing speed.

The 119-key keyboard is USB plug & play, and has a 2-port hub on board. It's compatible with both Mac and PC. At $109 USD it's pricey. But did I mention how good it looks?
