add a gasoline ignitor and this'll almost be the EXACT SAME as episode 2 of Death Note!! (where my anime fans at!!)

dude that keyboard would drive me insane...but I must have one......you should make an 'ible for that!

[zigzagchris]

i heard it was to keep most used buttons away from eachother so it wouldnt jam

[The Mollusk]

Lol he just popped off the keys and put them back on in alphabetical order, he said he was writing a program to make it work, but it was on his flash drive and that got broken. I've always wondered why they didn't make keyboards like that in the first place...

[stonehenge360]

haha the QWERTY keyboard was designed to have the most-used letters in the most convenient places on the board. thus increasing typing speed. And I knew he just switched around the keys, I was wondering if he came up with a program to make it work tho...

[batman96]

I know this is really old but I just wanted to say that the QWERTY key layout was designed to slow the person typing down because old typewriter would jam if you typed to fast.

[djzadjza]

also because typewriter sales man could show how fast it was by typing typewriter. check and see, all the letters of it (typewriter) are in the top row

[DavidRobertson]

umm. it wasnt. it was developed to slow down typists because old typwriters would jam if you typed to fast. since then it has stuck.

[Ian01]

Not true.

[DavidRobertson]

I think you'll find i'm right.

[rhaubejoi]

I remember being taught that in typing class. That it was to slow down the typists because they were too fast and jammed up the typewriters.

[JamesTB13]

The truth is, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS why QWERTY was used. I've never heard of the typewriters jamming theory, but I do know that a big plus (or maybe a, repeat A, reason) was that typewriter salesmen could demonstrate how fast these typewriters could write. Because, as previously stated, the word typewriter is completely on the top row. Also, interesting, typewriter is the longest word you can type on one row of a keyboard.

*COMMENTS UNRELATED* lol

[DavidRobertson]

oops i just realized this has allready bean said

[The Mollusk]

He did I thought I mentioned that but I might not have... The only problem is that he kept it on his flash drive instead of his computer. Thx for the explanation about the computer.

[k_mart_shoppr]

its probably not worth mentioning, but the QWERTY keyboard actually separates the most used keys on the keyboard... it was designed to keep typewriters from getting stuck when two keys close together were pressed and slows down the typist... another keyboard WAS designed to speed up typing- i believe its called the DVORAC? can anyone verify that? cool idea on the false bottom...

[bruno13069]

One feature of the QWERTY design was so that salesmen could sit down and peck out the word "TYPEWRITER" very quickly to demonstrate the ease of the machine. All of the letters are in the top row.

[DavidRobertson]

yes it is the dvorak that is designed to speed up typing

[Numb-Nuts]

any ideas on where to find one of these keyboards

[the_mad_man]

the internets

[Cyberscann54]

click KeyTweak and download to remap keyboard

[kraM]

ok i got to say this is pretty ba

[Taboo]

A pretty good idea but its hard to see what exactly it is with the lack of light ><

[CapinPorcupine]

just watch the second episode of death note lol btw great instructable!

[sharkstun97]

wow i relize what your picture is (i usd to watch death note )

[CapinPorcupine]

haha yea your the first

[sharkstun97]

um kind of intricate with him making a whole bomb device that blows up any one who opens it (the bx to his death note)

[The Mollusk]

Thanks

[Lazy Ape]

I really like it. Can I kick it up a little... keep the supports, loose the hole, add a hinge on the inside to the far "short" side, and epoxy 4 neodymium magnets to the bottom of the close "short" side - all polls aligned. Put a couple more magnets in the bottom of a zippo lighter to make a door pull.

[The Mollusk]

Great improvements, but you would have to watch what you keep in there, if you had a magnet or anything made of iron, then it/they would probably collect on or near there (depending on the likelyhood of the object to roll and the weight), and anyone would be able to find it.

[The Mollusk]

Oops, I didn't see that I already commented on that... Oh well, I like this responce better.

[The Mollusk]

Ya go for it. I just gave you a basic design. You can improve on it, and if you want throw your design on here. I bet it would get a great rating.

[dodo91]

I hope you didnt type with that! if you did, i feel bad for you.

[The Mollusk]

Ya, that would have taken hours. I'm glad that I never had to type on this instructable.

[jlwatson]

i made something similar i use a heavy duty shoe box (it was kind of a wierd card holder thing) but i used small pieces of wood for the supports and filled it with marbles and bouncy balls from when i was younger and glued a bouncy ball on the false bottom instead of using the pen or screwdriver to open it . it blends in perfectly i also mad everyother stash thing that the mollusk created haha

[The Mollusk]

Nice. Thats even better because you don't have to custom make the false bottom or cut a hole in the real one. I didn't glue something to the bottom because i didn't want anyone to accidently open my stash.

[ker-boom101]

is it just me or is this exactly like death note?

[yodog4444]

no in deathnote he has it set up so if anyone tried to force it open without using the pen, everything inside would burst into flames :)

[ker-boom101]

if you read the other comments i wrote that the speakers would subsitute the self destoryingness thing

[The Mollusk]

Lol ya, they stole my idea jk. Ya I guess it is like Death Note, I wasn't thinking of that when I made this in woodshop, it might have been a coincidence, or I might have remembered the design when I decided to add the stash
