Re: Dvorak keyboard: I would not move the keycaps. They are not all quite the same, and once re-attached won't line up quite right. They also may or may not re-attach 100%. You'll find that after not long you don't need the key lettering anyways. For anyone curious about trying it I note that QWERTY was designed to _impede_ typing, so that the keys of the original "Type-Writer" would not jam when being demonstrated. From: "green" <[email protected]> To: "" <[email protected]>I have been using the Dvorak layout for several years now. The switch was difficult, but I don't regret it. Touch-typing is great, but because of shortcuts and such, I prefer to have the keys properly labeled. So on my ThinkPad T61, I have been using stickers from here: http://hooleon.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=OV-0716 Those stickers have worked okay while they lasted but the home key stickers are looking bad (clear layer came off and sticker turned white) and it is time to either replace the stickers, give up on correctly labeled keys, or something else. One of the elses I have considered is moving the keycaps around. Does anyone have experience with this? There does not seem to be much information about this online, but here are some links: http://www.syzygytech.com/2007/04/19/dvorak-thinkpad/ http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Options-Accessories/T400-Dvorak-keyboard/m-p/180829/highlight/true It seems that I might have some trouble with some of the key mechanisms being rotated? I know that I will at least have to modify the keys that surround the trackstick. Also, how likely is it that I will accidentally break something by removing the keys, and how many chances do I have? Does keycap removal weaken the mechanism in any way, if done properly? I'm wondering how safe it is for me to experiment. I would prefer to not have to purchase a new keyboard. Thanks for any tips. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
