Thread: My New Keypad

Tweet

$29.95 with free shipping and, even tho I don't hardly ever look at the keypad, I wanted this for those keys you don't use very often - - - - NO, I didn't get it at AARP, I got it at Amazon.

Heck, even I can see that one from here!

Dose it glow in the dark too??

What is that, about three feet wide Em? Those keys look like the old ABC blocks!!

My first quick glance I thought it looks like a rectangular Scrabble board. Hope it works well for you, Em.

I have no idea how my fingers learned this stuff, but as soon as I feel those little indicator bumps under my index fingers they type away and hardly ever make a mistake.

What are these "indicator bumps" you speak of??? Some kind of magic??

Looks great to me Em! Might have to go shopping for one of them!

It's the cat's meow, Gents, but I must admit that there was a little Retina "attachment" involved.
(I don't even notice any physical size difference at all)

I have a preference for keyboards that have a little molded in raised bump on the F and J keys which allow me to feel that my fingers are oriented correctly on the keyboard without even looking at it. Once you get used to the "efficiency" of that it's a noticeable downgrade when the indicators are not there. Of course if a person types with one or two fingers "hunting and pecking" it makes no difference.

Yeah, I was just kidding. I'm familiar with the "bumps", but lots of them are so tiny any more that they're a lot harder to feel, or maybe it's the senses dulling with age....

I had a crush on my typing teacher - - - she was fresh outa College and I decided to excel and impress her - - - typed 90 words a minute and she asked me to enter District Typing Competition - - which I declined when I found out I would probably be the only hairy leg there

wrong choice there

My first typing teacher had a "crush" on me. He was a tough cookie who recently came to our school from a type of reform school for delinquents. So I was turned around in typing class talking to the guy behind me when all of a sudden I was smacked right out of my chair to the floor. It didn't really hurt but he made his point and I didn't bullshit in his class after that.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking but, considering the guys I hung out with, it was the best thing for me to do.

I agree I had the same discipline at catholic school. Won't get that today in any school but I believe it is still needed
