They don't have to be.

My roommate once got a keyboard with all blank key caps.

In order to punish his hubris I remapped m and n in the windows registry when he left his computer unlocked.

Good times.

Oh my god I'm so dumb. I was going to say aren't touch typers the only ones in danger? And had to think several times before I realized.

... As if this remaps the keys...

And I'm

  • a touch typer
  • with a mechanical keyboard
  • and a custom layout
  • that I remapped in firmware and software for my laptop keys

The key is to not only do this, but also compile this quick autohotkey script to an exe, hide it on their computer, and set it to run at startup:

#NoTrayIcon

m::n
n::m

That way it’ll fuck with touch typers. And when they look down to confirm that something’s wrong, it won’t look wrong. It’ll drive them nuts!

My manager once swapped my coworker's keyboard to say "FUMICHAL" or something like that on the keyboard.

It was many weeks before my manager had to point it out to him that he did that. Since my coworker was a touch typer he just never noticed. I think my boss thought that since he was Polish that maybe he'd look down once in a while, but nope.

I don't think he ever changed it back because he just never thought it was worthwhile to do so.

The only keys I would ever notice being moved are 'F' and 'J' ... because they have that little nub to let your fingers know where to place your hands ... but even then, I usually just move my finger placement left or right until I find the right setup anyway.

Also, keycaps on different rows are different shapes, unless you have a very low profile keyboard.

I do look at my keyboard once in a while to recenter my fingers, but I only get a general sense of the layout. Absolutely wouldn't notice two switched keycaps. On my laptop, I tend to feel for ridges on the F and J key instead of looking.

Non-destructice hijinks were highly encouraged at my first job. It was a way to encourage people to remember to lock up their computers when they stepped away.

So mouse button settings were often reversed, hotkeys were mapped, desktop backgrounds were modified, and basically every other non-destructive computer prank was pulled.

I remember it was a common prank in my office, for coworkers that didn't lock their workstations, to set their homepage to hampster-dance.

At a LAN party we once messed with a friend's desktop background. He had a picture of himself and a girlfriend in what I assume was his dorm room as his background. We wanted to take the poster in the background and photoshop it to something funny. Someone had a bizarre picture of a bunch of dudes in Ninja Turtle masks. One of them was holding some chick in a skirt upside down and I think holding a fist against her panties. That photo was so bizarre it sticks in my mind.

I have no idea if he ever realized it. I felt bad afterward when I found out he was MIA at the LAN Party because of an unpleasant medical issue...

I'm saying it's nice to think about how people could be better...

But office workers absolutely do not all know how to touch type. When you find yourself working at an office, your typing speed tends to get faster, but if you don't already know how to touch type you just peck faster
