XPeRT Keyboard is an innovative new piece of software that will not only allow experienced typists to type faster, but allow those new to keyboarding to reach touch typing speeds in record time. XPeRT Keyboard remaps the keyboard layout eliminating the standard QWERTY layout found on most keyboards.
The QWERTY key layout was originally conceived back in the 1870's and was actually designed to slow typing speeds to eliminate key jamming issues. Commonly used keys are placed in some of the most inconvenient locations in the keyboard layout. XPeRT Keyboard fixes this, optimizing key location, without changing things so much that a adept QWERTY typist cannot make the change over. In fact an experienced QWERTY typist can change over to XPeRT and see improvements in speed in as little as two hours.
More statistics are available at http://www.xpertkeyboard.com.
Not everyone has a keyboard with removable caps, so XPeRT Keyboard offers key labels with the software. In giving this new layout a try, I must say I was quite impressed. Being a long time user of QWERTY, the new system felt a little uncomfortable at first, as expected. After an hour or so I had a more natural feel for the XPeRT system and could type comfortably on it, perhaps more comfortably than the QWERTY setup. I did notice that there were less finger straining maneuvers than QWERTY where typing a 'p' before a period usually resulted in an error.
XPeRT Keyboard is an interesting piece of software with true potential to improve everybody's typing efficiency. I really encourage computer users to give this a try for at least a couple of hours to truly see the advantage to the XPeRT system.
