I’ve been typing in colemak for about a year now and i have to say it’s far superior to either dvorak or qwerty, and not just because the keys are in the right spots. No capslock and two backspace keys has a lot to do with it.

hmm.. you’d be right.. It looks like mine has the three as well. (the forth you mention is Function + 1 key on my khojinsha). I hadnt counted them on the various boards I have used. At least two if not all three of those down below are dedicated keys. the one up top may or may not be a dedicated key depending on the board.. I dont know.
So. yeah. point is.. eliminating the capslock key alltogether is a rather silly idea.

Strange, my Kohjinsha actually has 4 “extra” keys related to Japanese input… Two to the right ofthe space bar, one to the left, and one between Esc and F1.

millions of japanese people (and anyone who works with the japanese language) absolutely need the caps lock key. it serves as one of the mode toggles between roman, hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Im sure this is true of chinese and russian, as well as a host of other alphabets.
There are two additional keys on the japanese keyboard to facilitate mode toggling as well. For ‘english’ keyboards, the caps lock mode switch is absolutely essentiall, as those other two keys have to be replicated using the mouse and the langauge bar.

A nice feature of the japanese standard keyboard is that internet related keys are not shifted keys… they stand on their own, such as @ and :
