I've also posted elsewhere about this board, but I think it's a pretty cool, and I'm also hoping to find out some more about it as well, so I figured would post here too.

I've seen pictures of similar Wang keyboards but haven't seen a lot of other specific info about them. Does anyone know more about these boards?
