00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840
Hello. Hi. Welcome to the office, Olympic Stephen.

2
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.

3
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.

4
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

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,080
type that phrase with the highest accuracy and speed that you possibly can.

6
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,880
You can go ahead and spin the wheel and then we will give you your keyboard.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,600
You got workman, Dvorak, Capewell.

8
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

9
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

10
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,

11
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.

12
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,040
You are going to be using the evolved keyboard layout.

13
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.

14
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,160
So you are going to be using the Colmac format.

15
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,520
Some of the layers are in the same spot, which is nice,

16
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.

17
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,880
Okay, what the hell is this?

18
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.

19
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,680
It was created in 2005.

20
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.

21
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,240
Okay. Everything's shuffled. I mean, this kind of makes sense, right?

22
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?

23
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.

24
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.

25
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,600
On your mark, get set, I forgot where all the keys are.

26
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,920
Go. Man, I swear I'm actually really fast at typing.

27
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.

28
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,200
Oh my God, that's so easy. Oh my God.

29
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,

30
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,280
and it just doesn't. Like, I just can't comprehend what I'm looking at.

31
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,280
I feel like I'm on drugs. This is no good. This is really difficult.

32
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.

33
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,200
Highly accurate. We're going for the accuracy approach.

34
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Going that keyboard lane. The lane has begun.

35
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.

36
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,640
I think like once you sort of like get the sense of where things are,

37
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,760
you can get used to it like pretty quickly.

38
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Famous last words. Oh, this is terrible.

39
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,200
You guys are tough. You guys suck.

40
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.

41
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,280
The RGB is distracting me. It's like putting me in like a trance.

42
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,000
Where's the F key? What do you mean I'm here typo?

43
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,680
I did not make it typo. You're buying. Did you try this thing?

44
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.

45
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,360
No, we're just all stressed. Anything that is throw you off in particular so far?

46
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,320
Yeah, the layout. It's like just putting my brain in overdrive.

47
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.

48
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.

49
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Oh yeah, I only do caps lock. Love it. Yeah, I only do caps lock.

50
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

51
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:20,880
when I type like Mandarin, I don't really use caps lock.

52
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.

53
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.

54
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.

55
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,320
Exactly.

56
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,360
Where's the P? I don't know. Oh, thanks.

57
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,760
Together. I'll take that. Oh, there's a comment. Together. All right.

58
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Do it like NCIX. Oh, I hate it.

59
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,400
I hate it so much. Next I get into try typing Chinese.

60
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,720
So basically it's supposed to be like the new Dvorak.

61
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,840
And the thing about evolution is sometimes they evolve and then they die.

62
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.

63
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,920
It's also from the 1930s. Okay, that would make sense.

64
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Like so evolved was I think 2004.

65
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,240
Bro, I'm present. Okay, take a deep breath.

66
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.

67
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.

68
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?

69
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,320
Yeah. Okay, I'm going to beat them.

70
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,760
I love the commitment. It doesn't really make any sense.

71
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,040
The sentence? No. The layout. No, I'm just saying the layout.

72
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.

73
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,400
We're back into ASMR mode. Just whispering and key clicking.

74
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,360
Everybody resorts to ASMR.

75
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Pizzazz is supposed to be the hardest word to type on an alternate keyboard.

76
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,320
Here we go. Pizzazz. Let's go. P. I. Oh no.

77
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Hey, there we go. It almost feels like I don't understand English,

78
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,720
and I'm just looking for a symbol to like match that symbol.

79
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,520
What's interesting is Comac is officially supported like out of the box on macOS,

80
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,960
but it's not for Windows. And it's also supported for Linux.

81
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.

82
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,040
K, what's the f***ing K with E? Explain player.

83
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Can God explain for A, X, P? Give me P, L, A, I, N.

84
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Are these like actual coherent sentences or am I typing random words?

85
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,760
Random words. Okay, great. If I already bought this keyboard and spent $200 on this keyboard

86
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?

87
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.

88
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:01,840
Oh, so we can map it. Yeah. All right, good. Yeah, I mapped all of these.

89
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.

90
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,560
My brain has completely forgotten how QWERTY works. There we go.

91
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,760
Double digits, baby. Double digits. Let's go.

92
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,680
That's what we like. 93% accuracy.

93
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Okay. Took me six minutes, 48 seconds. God, that was almost seven minutes.

94
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,000
Yeah. Holy. Seven.

95
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,520
All right, 10 minutes. So somewhere 10 seems to be like a pretty average time.

96
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.

97
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,320
10 minutes, 90% accuracy average words per minute was five.

98
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,800
That's actually pretty on average. There we go.

99
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Six. Six words per minute. Okay. So pretty on like the bell curve where everybody sat.

100
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,080
Eight words per minute. You are in second place.

101
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

102
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,720
because you have highest words per minute. Accuracy and time.

103
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Nice. This was humbling and I didn't, I didn't like this at all.

104
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.

105
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

106
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,400
to just speech to text everything.

107
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Which means that most of my typing is incoherent anyways.

108
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,400
So this was kind of an improvement. Just far less convenient.

109
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,920
I hate it every second of this. Okay. I only did it for already.

110
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,000
This is like, I don't, yeah. I was born in the right generation.

111
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.

112
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,720
Classic. 1930s. That's the people who use this apparently.

113
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,040
Glad I wasn't born yet.

114
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,560
Wasn't born yet? 1930s?

115
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.

116
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,260
You
