Radical Way to Learn to Touch-type: Das Keyboard
10.10.2009 — Das Keyboard
«Genius must be simple!» — thought Mr. Guermeur and scrubbed all the letters from his keyboard, learned to touch-type and claimed he invented a brand-new way of learning.
As a matter of fact, the idea is not that new. That’s actually how touch-typing was first taught. The keyboard of the typewriter was covered with a carton box in order to prevent students from peeping onto it. That was effective but not sufficient. Teaching method was still required.
However, Mr. Guermeur ignored all the methods and just typed on the blank keyboard and it worked perfectly for him, why not for others?
So, Mr. Guermeur patented his innovation and entered the keyboard market. He even teamed up with Cherry and modernized the characteristics of his blank keyboards. Now he has all the rights to claim that not all the keyboards are born the same.
The invention is called Das Keyboard (genius must be simple, do you remember?) and costs $129.00.
Any volunteers to try it?
