Quiet Pro Mac + Dvorak
« on: Sat, 22 December 2012, 07:12:00 »
I would really like to see a Dvorak layout option for the Quiet Pro (Mac) keyboard. :)

I would need just the 4 following keys:
- F (with no 'home row' bump)
- J (with no 'home row' bump)
- U (with the 'home row' bump)
- H (with the 'home row' bump)

The kit could just be a DIY package (4 keys in a bag).

You could also make a Colemak kit, which would have the same flat F and J, but also include a bumpy T and N.

Thanks for putting so much work into the MQP!

Hi Daniel,

Unfortunately, it isn't quite that simple...

The keys on the Quiet Pro have different heights for each row, so you would need the keys that are on the "wrong" rows on QWERTY.  That works out to 23 or 24 keys.

Ahh. That's too bad. Still any chance of a Dvorak set in the near future?

Pretty good chance.

We may not offer it as a separate model, but likely will offer the Dvorak caps.
