Really? I think they custom ordered them from some kind of huge custom-making-company for a great deal of money!
Another keyboard… pfff… Who would go through with that?
You realize it would take more effort to shop that then to just swap the keys with any of ones in the other cubicles, right?
This happens in any large office from time to time.
Other fun tricks are to replace the ‘L’ with an ‘R’ on an Asian co-worker’s keyboard, and then remap the ‘r’ and ‘R’ characters in the Windows keyboard layout to ‘l’ and ‘L’, respectively.
I don’t even know if I’d notice this. Most of us only ever look at the home row anyway. Especially if you have a job involving a lot of typing, you’re likely proficient. Still funny though.
It’s one of “Life’s Lessons”. Never, ever, mess with the IT geeks! This is child’s play. One office had an IT guy who was being abused by the “Divas” and would alternate the screen script on each of their dumb terminals from Mandarin to Farsi to Tagalog, send their print files to the shipping dock 30 floors down and reverse print order. Just nasty stuff but a little comeuppance goes a long way.
I had this exact keyboard before. I set all the keys in alphabetical order, save for j and f because they don’t fit where the regular keys do. the keys were all raised different amounts. The same goes for most decently older keyboards. Likely shopped.
Nice.
We had a guy at my last job who was the classic hunt-and-peck user. We did a simple thing, just switched the m and n on the keyboard.
Took him 2 days to figure it out.
Ooooohhhh…. very sneaky!!
Haha! This gives me all kinds of great ideas…
Me too!
*sits down at computer*
*finds the letters a v i s r u l e z missing from keyboard*
*returns to keyboard*
?????
Yeah… Avis is pretty great…
Your “s” is out of place. Shift it right 2 spaces and read again.
What the hell are you talking about?
*Waiting for Avis to figure it out*
Two spaces to the right, eh? That would make it Avif. I must say, that doesn’t make a whole hell of a lot of sense.
He means to shift the “s” in “a v i s r u l e z” two spaces to the right, which would make it “a v i r u s l e z”.
*sets up lawnchair*
*whips out banana smoothie and takes a sip*
*waits…*
Where did they get the extra letters?
From another keyboard, shouldn’t be too hard to do.
LOL! So, he stole keys from other co-workers keyboards to do this? Brilliant!
And when he comes in the next day, he’s going to be all like What the!

Someone who doesn’t want to spend a great deal of money, and knows how to switch out the keys.
shooped.
arrrghhh! You ruined everything!

Did this all the time at U-scan at my old job. Was pretty fun. Changed the arrows and everything

Am I the only one that checked the keyboard after reading this?
Probably, because most of us know how to touch type, thus knowing where our keys are.
Nice.

Shouldn’t this be a win?
It’s shopped, i can tell from the pixels, and the position of the letters on the changed keys, and i saw many changed keys in my life.
