The Keys to the Kingdom?

Hate the QWERTY keyboard? Here's a nifty solution: just get a blank keyboard! (Yes, someone had to invent a blank keyboard. Thomas Edison, eat your heart out.) Why? To become a better typist, of course. After all, they say, pianos don't have the notes on the keys, do they? (But then piano keys are in order, aren't they, not randomly strewn about the keyboard like letters on a typewriter?) And perish the thought of just painting over the keys yourself: "but it's a pain in the butt to do that, a major pain. Also the paint would wear off eventually." Unlike buying and learning to type on a blank keyboard, which sounds like more fun than I could possible imagine.
