Reinventing the wheel does not make much sense. And a keyboard, either. Those who work well, so it is difficult to contribute. Attoparsec youtuber believes you have designed The worst keyboard in the worldand it doesn’t lack reason. It measures almost two meters, has 1,020 keys, and does not use letters, but words. Is it at least typing fast? Well no.
This unusable keyboard with more than a thousand keys is inspired by comic Up Goer Fivewhere the protagonist tries to explain aerospace science using only the 1,000 most common words in English.
Attoparsec came up to create a keyboard that used the 1,000 most used words in English, instead of letters. It sounded good in his head, but driving it is a nightmare.
This is how the worst keyboard in the world works
In addition to this thousand words, including some words, this youtuber added 20 additional keys for shortcuts. They are very used suffixes in English, to write the verbs in gerund, finished in «-ing» or in regular past (key «-ed»).
Thus he has obtained A keyboard almost two meters longwhich was a nightmare to print. He used 2.5 centimeters keys, and still had to use scripts with some words, and print them in two lines.
He used a sublimation printing system, which is better, but it takes a lot more. It cost him no less than six months to print the entire keyboard. Here you can see the result:
Managing the worst keyboard in the world is as complicated as manufacturing itas can be seen in the video.
The words are tidy alphabetically, and since the shortcut keys (in red) are on the right, if you have to combine them with words that are on the left, you better have your arms long.
Use this 1,020 keyboard It demands training weeks to learn, more or less, where are the most used words.
After a little practice, its creator has barely reached 13 words per minute. That is about six times less than the average speed that is achieved with a standard keyboard.
The most surprising thing is that this is not the weird keyboard that Attoparsec has manufactured. It has another so -called «Two Third Keyboard», is where the most used letters have very large, and the least popular keys, tiny keys … crazy!
The worst keyboard in the world uses words instead of letters, and needs 1,020 keys and a two -meter long desk. But it has its charm …
