XPeRT Keyboard 6.0
The XPeRT Keyboard enables touch typing speeds with no training. Opposite hand keystrokes go from 50% on Qwerty to 83% on XPeRT, a major typing SPEED factor. Only 2 common letters move on XPeRT, A+N, and a 2nd E key for EASY transition from Qwerty.
Review by person: This is a very bad thing that you should not buy, ever. It claims to be easy to learn, but it moves things that are unnecessary. For instance, Q is less common than X, so it can be left in its original position. It appears that X and P were moved just so that it would spell XPeRT. Its methods of comparing to QWERTY are skewed; it is hardly better. If you are looking for an alternative layout, you can use Dvorak (free). If you want a layout that is easier to learn, use Colemak (free) at colemak.com, which is WAY, WAY better than this keyboard, and FREE. (1/5 - 19-Apr-2008)
