Today for fun I grabbed one of our "virtually indestructible keyboards"

I have been using it for a half an hour and I realize why it is virtually indestructible.

It is so annoying to use, that if you actually had to use it, you would try to destroy it.

I can't fucking take it any more!!!

I type 60-100 words per minute usually with very few errors. On this though I make a mistake on every single fucking word!!!!!!!!!

Apple still makes the worst keyboards. They look great, but they're terrible for touch typing.

This is what a real keyboard looks like:

I had one in my office until I recently moved. It is in my wife's mother's basement now. When I get a house I might frame all 200lb of it.

I = orders Pizza
II = Can be used to type "II" like this: II
III = Used with a combination of the "Super" key and a few other keys, deploys my giant robots. Although it actually requires the use of 4 hands which can sometimes be problematic.
IV = Well, I am not sure what "IV" does

Double bucky, you're the one!
You make my keyboard lots of fun.
Double bucky, an additional bit or two
Vo-Vo-De-O!
Control and meta, side by side,
Augmented ASCII, nine bits wide!

Anyway, I'd love to have a Space Cadet, even tough I have no idea if I could get it to work with modern hardware. I actually have my keyboard layout set to somewhat resemble the Space Cadet layout, at least in number of bucky bit keys:
