This instructable will show you how to trick your friends by changing their keyboard controls! They may never know what happened! Not only that, they won't be able to check online for the problem becuase their text will turn out to be something like this: D.nnrw abe ,.njrm. yr yd. lpabt jdabb.n! it's fairly easy, I'll show you how.
