On the aid to trading:

Das Keyboard without letters inscribed on the keys would only be of use to those who are touch typists.

To type accurately by touch, one needs to type with good rhythm and as the Das Keyboard is blank, if one can maintain good rhythm, one would be more accurate. Besides, the curvature of the keys help but the keyboard does not come cheap.

Then there is the Dvorak Keyboard which I cannot relate to so easily.
