Increase typing speed by up to 100%

Filed in archive Hardware on July 19, 2007

Someone has done their homework and come up with the idea that if your keyboard is totally blank you will not be slowed down by taking a peek at the names of the keys as you type.

So we now have "Das Keyboard II" a totally blank keyboard and with little mechanical switches to give you a very positive feel as to when you have actually typed the key.

The keyboard can be used with the major operating systems:

Das Keyboard is a USB keyboard, compatible with Windows, MacOS X and Linux. Das Keyboard has a Windows menu key that also works under Linux. Macintosh addicts be will happy to know this keyboard works well for them too.

I do not know whether I would really be up to using a blank keyboard. While I touch type, I do so using my own system I have worked up over the last 30 years in using typewriters and computer keyboards. i like my little peeks every now and then just to see a symbol, such as above the numbers.
