I don't know - it would be a pain in the ass at first, but I think the current keyboard layout is dumb.

Yeah, because you're used to it. But it makes no sense. Why aren't the keys in alphabetical order?

totally agree!

Hey a question to you guys, is it possible to clean the keys of a laptop thesame as a normal keyboard? Can I pop them put them in some soaking water, dry them and clickem up again or what?

I don't think so Klaas, as far as I'm aware they are stuck of with some type of plastic sheet which runs across the keyboard..Unlike the clips they use on desktop keyboards.

Also, I don't think I would like that new type of keyboard why change if it isn't broke? This version of keyboard works fine but I guess seeing the key layout isn't changing it wouldn't be too bad.

The qwerty keyboard was specifically designed so that someone couldn't type faster than a typewriter could handle. The original design came about so that the letters wouldn't get stuck if someone got really good at it. There are other designs that have come about but never made it big. These days, its a moot point whether the keys get stuck for obvious reasons, but so many people are trained on qwerty that many of them do not want to retrain themselves. This is a bit more background on the issue.

Its certainly a nice keyboard but I still prefer the Optimus

, I don't like the idea of not actually touching the keys.
