Why Keyboard Keys Aren't Aligned? [closed]
Why keyboard keys aren't aligned? [closed]
(This is an educated guess based on tinkering with typewriters when I was a kid) Its generally accepted The QWERTY keyboard was laid out in such a way that keys likely to be pressed in quick succession were on different parts of the keyboard to reduce the likelihood of jamming. I posit that the offset of keys is a similar artifact - that the keys needed to be offset so that each key (which was on an arm which struck a ribbon in a center point of the keyboard) could reach the center point. The following picture (from Wikimedia, under CC license) shows the arrangement of keys and levers. Note that some ergonomic keyboards have the kind of key alignment you are referring to, but superimposed on a curved base

Touch screen cell phone or full keyboard cell phone?
DEFINITELY FULL KEYBOARD. i have the enV from verizon. The keyboard is amazing, i can type long messages quickly and easily. The touch screen phones are hard to use and slow to type on. Also, its easy to press the wrong button or call someone while its in your pocket because its very sensitive. I have dropped my phone millions of times and its still in perfect condition. Although the touch screen looks cooler, the keyboard is a better bett. If you have verizon, and you want a mixture of both, you should get the voyager. the outside has a touch screen so you can type on there and play on it, but the inside has a full keyboard. its very nice and takes really good pictures.

I spilled water on my keyboard and now some keys don't work
I have never personally encountered such an issue before, and so I can only speculate. If the keyboard itself has been replaced, and the operating system has been reset, then it sounds like it may be something hardware related. To be certain, I would recommend trying a different operating system. There are many Linux live CDs out there which would allow you to temporarily boot up into a different environment to test the keyboard. Try at least one that does not require a GUI, or maybe try inside of a boot prompt, to rule out drivers.If you still have trouble regardless of they keyboard and the OS then it would be time to start checking the hardware. If you are using a keyboard through a non-USB port, try a USB, and vice versa. Hopefully, this should give you enough information to take some action
