PostHeaderIcon Would You Dump Your “QWERTY” Keyboard For An Alphabetical “ABCDEF” Keyboard?

When I just started typing lessons I wonder “why aren’t the keys in alphabetical order (ABCDEF) “because I though it would make typing easier. As time goes by I grew more accustom to the QWERTY format even though I still look at the keys when I am typing (40-50 words per minute and I am not afraid to say it). If you ever wonder how it would feel to type on a “ABCDEF” keyboard instead of the standard “QWERTY” keyboards now you can, thanks to the Fast Finger Keyboard (designed for novice and beginners).  Don’t be alarmed, it can be used as a QWERTY keyboard as well just by switching configurations. This keyboard is also pre-programmed for common Internet shortcuts such as: LOL, ASAP, TTYL, BRB, THX and more. But come on, are you so lazy that you can’t type 3 or 4 letters yourself or do you think your finger will go numb?

This portable printer was not designed to handle heavy loads, but it can be very useful for printing on-the-go.

Just connect it to your computer/device via USB, additionally there is an OLED screen to displays the printing status.
