Just in case typing full words was too much exercise for you, or perhaps learning a traditional QWERTY keyboard was too mainstream for your “rebel” lifestyle, Fast Finger Keyboards has the peripheral for you!
Not only have they completely rearranged the keys to be in consecutive A-Z format, they have included shorthand internet and texting meme short cuts on the function keys. This keyboard is for you if you knew what HOAS meant without Googling it. In case someone who has used any keyboard (or typewriter) in his or her lifetime sits down at your computer, FFK generously included the standard QWERTY layout on the keyboard.
Thankfully, the folks over at Fast Finger Keyboards didn’t make this fire-engine red atrocity novelty more than 25 bucks.

So typing "btw" or "lol" is now an awkward 2 key combo instead of a simple 3 key press. Brilliant... That thing is not even worth $5.

how is a-z better than qwerty? if you know how to use a keyboard then you wouldn't be able to use this one, if you learn how to type on this one you could never type on a normal one.
by the way there is a reason why keyboards are laidout the way they are, zxcv are used rarely and are therefore the hardest to get to the whole tfgh chunk is more used and easier to reach

Acctually the current keyboard setup was designed to slow typist down so they where not able to go faster then a type writer could handle.

qwerty was designed so that you wouldn't hit two letters close to each other too fast and jam them, not necessarily to slow you down completely.
A-Z is even worse, the only vowels easy to hit are o and e where as with qwerty a,e and i are easy to hit and commonly used consonants f,g,d,k,r,t,h,n,b and a few others are fairly easy in fact rarely used letters q,z are the hardest to hit both being left handed pinky buttons whereas A-Z makes a and t, two of the most commonly used letters the hardest to hit.
DVORAK would still be much easier than either of them.

A family of 3 could have eaten for a year with the money wasted on R&D making this keyboard.
