ABKey Alphabetical Keyboard

I can't fathom these USB keyboards from ABKey.  I find myself drawn to their funky, chunky ergonomic design...but the keys...they're in alphabetical order.  This is madness. Don't they understand my fingers don't know their ABCs? They just know where the keys are.  Or were.

Oh dear.

For those of you who are willing to face this brave new typing world, ABKey insists that you can learn to touch-type with their (allegedly more efficient) layout in just one hour.  Me? I'm too proud of my fast-fingered QWERTY-fu (and they said years of pointless web-surfing wouldn't teach me anything) to go back to hunting and pecking for even five minutes, let alone an hour. - [Star C.

The ABKey is available for $109. [via Akihabara News]
