I have 2 keyboards and I just took apart one to clean. Now that I have all the keys out, and they are all nice and clean, I have decided not to put the keys back in normally. Does anyone have any ideas on what words I could write with the letters?

Keep in mind that 5 can be S and 1 can be I and whatnot (3 = e?, 7 = L?, 9 = g?)

Just some cool words to spell or whatever the case may be

I will probably keep insert/delete/home/end/pageup/down keys in the same place as I actually dont use those keys often.

Any ideas?

edit: anagram solvers help find words O_O

One question, when you put the keys back together that randomly would it actually all fit?

Take this chance seriously to change to Dvorak type set!! I've heard really good things about it and it seems like it's WAY faster if you can use it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Dvorak

Lol wait What are you asking for??? Are you going to put half the keys in the wrong place to spell words? I guess you could get STARC24FT across the middle of your keyboard. That would be cool lol.

If you play Zerg, replace the S and D keys with B and M respectively. Replace G with Q.

Spell: IAMTHEB357 across one of the rows.

Maybe I'll think of more

I'd heard of the Dvorak setup before but I finally read that short entry and then continued on to the actual Dvorak wikipedia page. From the looks of it we use a QWERTY layout because it was designed to help prevent jams from occuring in typewriters.... That's kind of interesting, I'd like to try out Dvorak, just to see how insanely frustrating it would be. Planning on buying a mechanical keyboard soon anyway, so once I do might just swap out all the key caps on the cheap one I'm using now.

To OP: The only little modification on my keyboard is that I switched the positions of the "S" key and the "5" key from the numpad since the "5" has a little bump on it. It doesn't really matter much but it seemed like a handy way to be able to know where your hand is if needed.

Since i dont need to look at the keyboard to type, I was going to spell something amusing.

perhaps jaedong msl edit: or jaedong vs. qxc

Also, I am not going to learn dvorak. Sounds like a bad idea when im already typing 100+ and also the fact that I would have to switch every time i use a different computer sounds dumb.

I also read about the 5 and s switch but it doesnt matter too much and i was thinking about something crazy.

Yes, all "normal (1 square)" keys will fit and you can swap any normal key with another normal key.

theoretically, the skill ceiling on dvorak is waaaaaaaaaaaay higher than on qwerty, just because you don't need to move your fingers as much. If you have another keyboard, i would for sure try it out, you might be convinced

however it's true that you would have to switch all the time society man.

jk lol, how bout "The quick br.wn fox j[mp3d 0v3r 14; lazy d0g"


Or perhaps " No F8 but 3hat Me m4k3"

obviously you need to turn keys sideways and upside down etc. Also, depends on your keyboard but on the samsung qsenn DT35 there is this W with a slash through it character and other korean symbols that can be used for letters in roman languages
