00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840
Hello. Hi. Welcome to the office, Olympic Stephen.

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:12.720
We are going to be testing you on your ability to adapt to the most efficient keyboard layout.

00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:17.840
On the wheel in front of you, there are six different options. You're going to spin the wheel and you're going to be given one at random.

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:21.560
There's a phrase that is on the screen in front of you and you are going to have to

00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:26.080
type that phrase with the highest accuracy and speed that you possibly can.

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:28.880
You can go ahead and spin the wheel and then we will give you your keyboard.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.600
You got workman, Dvorak, Capewell.

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.360
You will not be spinning the wheel because I have been made aware that you actually use

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:48.800
one of the alternate keyboards that we would be testing. I use Colmac and the reason I use it is because I used to have really bad RSI

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:54.880
in my arms, repetitive strain injury. So really, I just switched over to it along with a couple other things,

00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:00.320
like getting a better ergonomic layout for my desk just to try to help out with the pain.

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.040
You are going to be using the evolved keyboard layout.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.840
There is only one left. So you can spin the wheel for fun, but there's, you know, there you go.

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:14.160
So you are going to be using the Colmac format.

00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.520
Some of the layers are in the same spot, which is nice,

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:21.840
but I feel like that would give me a false sense of security. I would love to know about Capewell.

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:24.880
Okay, what the hell is this?

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:35.680
Oh, okay. So it's a spinoff of Dvorak and this is the basically final iteration of the Capewell layout.

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.680
It was created in 2005.

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:46.080
Okay. So the main point of this keyboard is not having to move your hands as much in average typing.

00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:50.240
Okay. Everything's shuffled. I mean, this kind of makes sense, right?

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.160
You would have your vowels on the home row on the left side, and then you'd have S, T, R, N on the other side, right?

00:01:56.160 --> 00:02:04.720
For efficiency. I'm going to suck at this. I was going to say it looks like a regular keyboard and then oh, the letter somewhere else.

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:10.480
Actually, back in the day, I used to do Dvorak as well. Okay. And then I gave up on it because I thought it was really stupid.

00:02:10.480 --> 00:02:13.600
On your mark, get set, I forgot where all the keys are.

00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:17.920
Go. Man, I swear I'm actually really fast at typing.

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.080
This is humbling. Oh, I made a typo. I'm just going to ignore that because it was all the way at the beginning of the word.

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.200
Oh my God, that's so easy. Oh my God.

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:33.760
Capitals count. So this one being high is like just staring at something that should make sense to you,

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:37.280
and it just doesn't. Like, I just can't comprehend what I'm looking at.

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.280
I feel like I'm on drugs. This is no good. This is really difficult.

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:49.040
It's like treasure hunting. I haven't had to hunt in packs since I was like 10 years old.

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.200
Highly accurate. We're going for the accuracy approach.

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.040
Going that keyboard lane. The lane has begun.

00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:02.080
My eyes wanted to go where I expected the keys to be at, and then it's just like not there.

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.640
I think like once you sort of like get the sense of where things are,

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:09.760
you can get used to it like pretty quickly.

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:13.680
Famous last words. Oh, this is terrible.

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.200
You guys are tough. You guys suck.

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:25.200
I don't like it at all. I kind of get it though. Like E is, it's common as hell, and it's like right there.

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:29.280
The RGB is distracting me. It's like putting me in like a trance.

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:34.000
Where's the F key? What do you mean I'm here typo?

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.680
I did not make it typo. You're buying. Did you try this thing?

00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.360
Did I? Did you? I had to make them all. I thought it would be easy and fun.

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:51.360
No, we're just all stressed. Anything that is throw you off in particular so far?

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.320
Yeah, the layout. It's like just putting my brain in overdrive.

00:03:56.320 --> 00:04:01.280
It's like there's this weird pressure to go fast, but at the same time I don't know what I'm doing.

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.240
I like the use of the caps lock. You're the only person that's done that so far.

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:10.160
Oh yeah, I only do caps lock. Love it. Yeah, I only do caps lock.

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:17.840
I try to force myself to do like a shift, but I just can't adapt to that because like

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:20.880
when I type like Mandarin, I don't really use caps lock.

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:26.560
So I never build up. I feel like if I look for a layer too long, I start to just space out.

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.680
I'm just like, I don't know what I'm looking at. I feel like my like older family members right now.

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.680
This is what it must feel like just to look at a keyboard for the very first time.

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.320
Exactly.

00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:41.360
Where's the P? I don't know. Oh, thanks.

00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.760
Together. I'll take that. Oh, there's a comment. Together. All right.

00:04:45.760 --> 00:04:49.760
Do it like NCIX. Oh, I hate it.

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:54.400
I hate it so much. Next I get into try typing Chinese.

00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:56.720
So basically it's supposed to be like the new Dvorak.

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.840
And the thing about evolution is sometimes they evolve and then they die.

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:06.720
Yeah, a lot of these did. Evolving off of Dvorak was a good idea because Dvorak itself is not.

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.920
It's also from the 1930s. Okay, that would make sense.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.000
Like so evolved was I think 2004.

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.240
Bro, I'm present. Okay, take a deep breath.

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:25.520
This will all go away. See, I can't even, I can't even type while I'm talking.

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:28.640
It's literally taking up too much focus. I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole.

00:05:28.640 --> 00:05:34.800
I'm like looking, I'm looking, oh, there. Wait, so all the other people use like 10 minutes to type this?

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.320
Yeah. Okay, I'm going to beat them.

00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.760
I love the commitment. It doesn't really make any sense.

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.040
The sentence? No. The layout. No, I'm just saying the layout.

00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.400
All the layout of the keyboard. I was like, the sentence is no, they're different words.

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:54.400
We're back into ASMR mode. Just whispering and key clicking.

00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:57.360
Everybody resorts to ASMR.

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.760
Pizzazz is supposed to be the hardest word to type on an alternate keyboard.

00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:08.320
Here we go. Pizzazz. Let's go. P. I. Oh no.

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.000
Hey, there we go. It almost feels like I don't understand English,

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.720
and I'm just looking for a symbol to like match that symbol.

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:21.520
What's interesting is Comac is officially supported like out of the box on macOS,

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:24.960
but it's not for Windows. And it's also supported for Linux.

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:28.960
Okay, I'm almost there. We're almost there. Three more, three more. I can't even see your time.

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:33.040
K, what's the f***ing K with E? Explain player.

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:40.080
Can God explain for A, X, P? Give me P, L, A, I, N.

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:43.920
Are these like actual coherent sentences or am I typing random words?

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:49.760
Random words. Okay, great. If I already bought this keyboard and spent $200 on this keyboard

00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:53.280
and I don't like the layout, what should I do? Should I just throw it away?

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:56.560
I mean, I just ripped the keys out and I put them back in in the right order.

00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:01.840
Oh, so we can map it. Yeah. All right, good. Yeah, I mapped all of these.

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:07.600
Good, good, good. I'm a little used to touch typing like this because whenever I use someone else's keyboard, I basically have to do this.

00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.560
My brain has completely forgotten how QWERTY works. There we go.

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:13.760
Double digits, baby. Double digits. Let's go.

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.680
That's what we like. 93% accuracy.

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:22.800
Okay. Took me six minutes, 48 seconds. God, that was almost seven minutes.

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.000
Yeah. Holy. Seven.

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.520
All right, 10 minutes. So somewhere 10 seems to be like a pretty average time.

00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:37.520
You're not in first place though. I'm not surprised. I fully expect to be in like not a good spot for this at all.

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.320
10 minutes, 90% accuracy average words per minute was five.

00:07:42.320 --> 00:07:44.800
That's actually pretty on average. There we go.

00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:51.680
Six. Six words per minute. Okay. So pretty on like the bell curve where everybody sat.

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.080
Eight words per minute. You are in second place.

00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.000
Who's first? Ten. Not bad. You are currently the, no, you're the winner at this point

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.720
because you have highest words per minute. Accuracy and time.

00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.920
Nice. This was humbling and I didn't, I didn't like this at all.

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:14.240
I'm sorry that the keyboard hurt your feelings. It's okay. I mean, I don't, I don't code.

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.160
So I don't think this has any advantage to me. You know, personally, I just use Siri

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.400
to just speech to text everything.

00:08:23.760 --> 00:08:26.800
Which means that most of my typing is incoherent anyways.

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.400
So this was kind of an improvement. Just far less convenient.

00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.920
I hate it every second of this. Okay. I only did it for already.

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:40.000
This is like, I don't, yeah. I was born in the right generation.

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.080
I can't imagine using this every day at work. I would, I would pull all of my hair out.

00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:48.720
Classic. 1930s. That's the people who use this apparently.

00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.040
Glad I wasn't born yet.

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.560
Wasn't born yet? 1930s?

00:08:56.560 --> 00:08:59.760
I wasn't born yet. Oh, I guess we're, yeah. How old do you think I am? I don't know.

00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:02.260
You
