A DP friend of mine has a DP keyboard.

I wonder why one would like to use a DP keyboard as many of us (like me) customize commands.
I rather read the QWERTY keyboard as is.. but that was not your point nor question. ;)

I just wondered whether people find these things useful. Seems to me if you have to read the keys for common commands, it defeats the purpose.

I have the DP keyboard too. To be honest with you, It looks really cool in photos of my studio, but I could count the number of times I've actually had to look at the keys to find a hot key on one hand. Usually the things you use most you eventually commit to memory and even if I forget, it's easier to open the Commands window with shift-L and search for it rather than scrutinize they key caps.

Even though I have most of mine memorized...I created small jpegs of all my custom keys and then had a local printing shop print them on nice "sticker paper"....just took them and stuck them on the keys...worked great and looks kinda cool.
