What really bothers me is how much I've adjusted to a certain keyboard size. I've been using logitech keyboards for like 5 years now. I had a G11 for nearly 2 and a half years, and the six months between when it broke (the usb cable in the back got frayed after a feline-induced gravitational trauma) and when I replaced it with my current G510, I was going insane because I could. not. type. My hands were all shifted over by a key, so I
constantly borked up all sorts of stuff, and despite touch-typing, the speed at which I type usually resulted in me going anywhere from a sentence to a full paragraph (only a few times, which resulted in a lot of laughter) before I even noticed that I was off. For point of reference for those who don't understand, these keyboards have extra keys on the left side, making them a good bit wider than the standard keyboard. Basically think of it like a normal keyboard, with a number pad on the right
and left sides.

Oh, those keys come off, just pop them off and put them where you want them! I do that to keyboards all the time to make them more efficient for people to type on! I keep getting really garbled death threats whenever I do that for some reason though.
I prefer to keep it simple. By switching nothing but the N and M keys, I've managed to get three separate people to break their keyboards.
Honestly, I think you could probably swap any pair of keys on the bottom row (z to /) and 90% of the time, no one would notice it. Most who deal with typing a lot know qwertyuiop, and given the general propensity for home-row, asdfghjkl;' while nonsensical to look at, is also fairly well understood (though you could probably get away with g and h). Regardless, though, the result is always hilarious, and I applaud your subtlety
