I think had the qwerty keyboard been available when I originally bought I might have gone for it, however, hearing that the keys are smaller and not spaced the same as my regular keyboard made me decide when I got the second BN to stick with the BT keyboard, I type all the time, and have experienced a couple of keyboards where the keys were smaller, or the spacing between them was not right and after a while developed tremendous problems with my hands, To accommodate a keyboard like I'd want the BN would have to be much larger than it is.
I have actually gotten back my speed entering braille on the BT, seldom have problems, my problem is, in writing, that I type so much that sometimes I forget to use contractions even though I know them, for example I might actually type out the full word knowledge instead of just the k in braille. Initially keying into the BN seemed slow to me, but I have used it recently to take notes at a meeting and was doing just fine, and the noise never bothered anyone, made a few people curious initially, but, less annoying than most of us typing on a querty keyboard from our computers.
