Ultimate geek keyboard
http://www.daskeyboard.com/

No lettering, just keys. Reminds me of typing class circa 1965.

1. Typing class!
Wow! I went through that too.
Manual typewriters, at first the keys were labelled, later covered to test your skills.

Now, it's on computers, and called Keyboarding.

3. so lemme guess.. they just bought a bunch of blanks from Dell or something
and put em in a box... wrote 'Das Keyboard' on it... and now they sell em? cause it looks exactly like the one that came with the one im using right now... with letters anyway.

5. Piffle! Go out and buy a regular $10 keyboard... use it for 6 weeks...
and the friction generated by the typing will cause the letters to fade off.

Rubbing alchol hastens the effect too. :D

6. Just dont look at the keyboard..
I RARELY do... only time I look at it is doing something with numbers. I have a laptop w/o a keypad on the right and it just drives me nuts. I'm getting better at using the top row for my numbers but I'm STILL reaching for the keypad on the right.. augh.

I type roughly 100-140wam..

8. Ooo, that would totally mess me up
You'd @ least think they'd have a version in alphabetical order before that...

9. I've got an ergo keyboard
If they made it in that format, I might consider it, but I have a very difficult time switching back to a regular keyboard now, and my hands and wrists certainly know the difference!
