Cool Video Idea! GAMING on a Dvorak keyboard!

Big Duck 27

I think that the cool guys at LTT should make a video about gaming on a Dvorak keyboard with the standard WASD setting.

Now i think that would be a cool video, right?

 

*And ofcourse play Skyrim, cause Dvorakiin

Chanel Super Fun ep of this would be awesome xD 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

they could just remap the keys to the normal WASD layout though.

You are on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

Maybe they can make it a series and after that play on a guitar hero guitar, the Donkey Kong Bongo's for the GameCube and more weird peripherals

No! I think that's dumb!

It might be fun to see a footboard involved too though.

I don't understand why. It's so pointless when you can just rebind everything. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

not to poo-poo the idea, but what is the end result?

what gain in gaming performance or game play can be achieved switching from qwerty to dvorak?

devoting 5-50hrs of planning, shooting, editing, and production to show in 10mins gaming on a different keyboard layout.

gotta have point to prove, disprove, theory support, optional gains, etc.. spending company time/money/manpower isn't a cheap venture.

maybe why it hasn't be done yet?

nah its more of a CSF idea not LTT if you think about it, watch them struggle to game on it xD dont let them bind keys so its easy to use make them map keys to make it the same as pressing WASD, so like they cant put <AOE for walking forward backwards and side to side,

I think OP means it more like a challenge video. Like those challenge videos where people have to play a game with inverted controls (on a controller, meaning tilting the control stick to the left, will make the character look to the right, etc.)

What about a SuperFun where two LMG members must compete against each other in a game, with the side effect being that their controls have been rebound by someone working for the enemy?

Like this:

Team one, let's say, Jon and Taran. Team two could be the Nick and Berkel.

Jon and Berkel would be gamers and Nick and Taran would be remappers.

Nick would have to remap Jon's keys and Taran would have to remap Berkel's keys without Jon or Berkel knowing.

Then Jon and Berkel would have to return to their keyboards and start racing: first to figure out what key does what and then racing to complete, say, one stage of a game. The first person to complete the goal with their keys remapped by someone else without their knowledge wins!

 

What do you think?

I didn't realise that "fun" was not a word in most techies' day to day vocabularies, but clearly that is the case. The OP clearly indicates this would be just for a laugh.
