Keyboard Contest: And the winner is...

by Ragnar Schierholz

There are all kinds of keyboard variations for desktop use already (not to mention all the mobile keyboard/keyboard replacements). Some of them are actually quite... well, at least extraordinary, if not plain weird. The guys over at fosfor gadgets have put together The top 10 weirdest keyboards ever.

The third rank wasn't new to me, I want to try one of these for years already but never could get a hand on one (in the most literal sense of the word!). I wonder what it feels like to be typing by just sliding two dome-shaped objects (or pushing, squeezing them, whatever you actually do). Must have been somewhat of a male idea, I suppose.

Me and a couple pals are really waiting for this keyboard.

Sorry for screwing up the link. Let's try it again:

Optimus keyboard

Which keyboard??? I guess you forgot to put the href-attribute into the a-tag...

Neat, looks like a very interesting keyboard, especially if you're frequently using applications which are easily controlled by hotkeys.

I used to use the Microsoft Natural Keyboards, but recent models are too spungy. I've switched to the Logitech version of the same which is extremely similar but has better key feel. Neither is quite split wide enough for my big hands, but they help a great deal with my wrists and didn't take more than a few minutes to get used to.

How about this one?

Works very well....
