    By the way, I got a razer blackwidow. :P
    Not ultimate, just the normal one. Anyone know a good way to adjust to a new keyboard layout really quickly? The F1 key is way far out and the keys are just a bit smaller.

    Did you know that the QWERTY key layout is supposed to slow down our typing?

    I think that if it actually went ABCDEF, it'd be pretty hard to type.

    I wanted to buy a mechanical keyboard until I heard the keystrokes noise. I found it annoying as hell.

    It's a typewriter specially converted to be used on a computer?

    I just got te Blackwidow Ultimate and I loveeee it. The keystoke sounds were loud and I hated it at first, but now I actually like it quite a bit and wouldn't really wanna go back.

    You'll just adjust normally to the key spacing...:l

    A mechanical keyboard has switches beneath the keys that recreate the experience of typing on a typewriter. Although there are different types of switches used in mechanical keyboards, they all have the same result: more accurate typing.
    Because I had no idea either.

    The fastest typists tend to use dvorak rather than qwerty. Qwerty was designed so that you would not run into mechanical problems with typewriters caused by typing too fast and certain letters too close together.
