No.

Meh. Learn dvorak then, and start typing like a pro.

Oh yeah? How much WPM do you get?

(I get 76 on my laptop keyboard, which is slightly smaller than the usual IBM 104-key)

I tried typing "on" that once.
1) hard to "touch" type
2) fingers hurt like crap
I'd imagine you'd need a nice foam surface to project onto.

Besides, I would hope not to spend 800 dollars on this.
The laser keyboard is only $150 or so.

I will if there's a Mario Teaches Typing: DVORAK Edition. I refuse to learn AZERTY though.

Download it and switch to a Dvorak layout :P (also hack around to get Dvorak-oriented exercises). I am semi-accustomed to using AZERTY, since it's the only non-retarded way to get French accents.
