I was thinking, there's a lot of characters that get typed nowadays, that relatively speaking weren't barely used when the keyboard was invented. anyways the PC keyboard layout is almost a direct copy from the typewriter keyboard layout.
why not toss the crusty old layout currently used? I think the QWERTY part of the keyboard should remain, but all the rest needs rearrangement badly.
I don't know exactly what, but so you get an idea, take that strip of number keys 1-9 off the top, we already have a number pad to the right. the weird characters we type all the time @,$,%,*,(,),<,>,? (and programmers even more) should be together and not having to press SHIFT to type them every time. maybe grouped with the insert/delete/home/end/pgup keys.
I thought it was such a great idea, not having to press SHIFT every time I type a @, I went to urge Logitech to start production on such keyboards immediately. guess what, they don't have any email or web page for input from customers.
if you really think about it, that's crappy. to hell with them. I don't think I'm going to buy anything from them anymore. if they don't need my input, they don't need my business either.
so does anybody have another idea of a keyboard manufacturer who might be interested in finally designing a keyboard that's actually laid out for computer users instead of typewriter users?
