(I didn't have the extra keycaps to finish the work.)
F and J remain in their correct positions, so you still have the nubs!

Something I had never thought about, but interesting nonetheless!
Too bad you can't actually type that all out, 37 keys isn't enough!

If you use [];',./ it's only 2 keys short, so it works if you start at -=.
Of course, then you wouldn't get the F/J nibs.

They're rearranging the keycaps to spell out the "Quick brown fox" sentence.

Hold down both shift keys while doing it an report your results to OCN! They'll put it in the NKRO wiki. :pound:

There are some 26 letter pangrams, though most of them aren't very good.

A random layout has a high probability of being more efficient than QWERTY (which was designed to slow you down)

Designed to reduce chances of letters being pressed being close to each other. Not really to slow people down.

I still think it's funny the pangram in the HardForum poll (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1523154) is wrong.

Don't blame the guy, he's only 8.4 years old.
