ErgoMechKeyboards
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Google Japan makes a neat-but-useless keyboard every October 1st.

There's a super long one, one that's a cup, one that's a hat, and one that's a spoon.
Probably more that I'm not remembering.
Yeah, I read that it's a yearly thing. My question though, is why Oct 1?
10/1 to celebrate the 101 key keyboard apparently? That’s what the linked article mentioned.
It's in the article I linked.
Wtf, I only saw the long one before. Thanks for sharing!
Edit: omg, the video! They even show the long keyboard in on scene. And an anime hommage with a guy running with a toast in his mouth. Hilarious.
