Story: Another challenge to QWERTY's dominance

•

Parkinson's keyboard is interesting, but has a big problem.
Today, QWERTY keyboards have become in use all over the world including East Asia and Arab world. In those countries, QWERTYs are primarily used as devices to input native non-European language to the language-processing software which works as a convertor from alphabet to native-character.
In these cases, the advantage of Parkinson's keyboard almost does not make sense. The efficiency and easiness of writing in English is not the matter for them.
But there might be a small group of people scattered on the globe who want to try this new keyboard. Customizing a keyboard is not a difficult job for specialists in Taiwan or China. My recommendation for Parkinson is to contact those firms to launch small scale production and selling on the web. Isn't it a rare item, anyway?
