Peripheral replacement for QWERTY

[E.T.]

[Posted here as option to posting under "General Discussion"]

Relative to previous post re:Frog Pad, a replacement for QWERTY [your keyboard]. This device was designed primarily for word processing & general keyboard uses.
I wondered [@ the time] if regulars here would consider it useable for gaming.

In a post reply w/"microdot" regarding keyboard/mouse vs game controllers, the peripheral SPEED PAD came up.

Unlike FROG PAD, SPEED PAD was designed for gaming w/throttle wheel.

Any pc gamers have this OR think its viable replacement for QWERTY?

Good idea in theory, but why would you wanna spend extra dough for something that replaces what's already sitting right in front of you? It won't be any worse, but at the same time it doesn't do anything better, either..I'd pass on it for games.
