(Extinct web pages about) extinct ergo keyboards

For some reason, that picture reminded me of story I had heard about President James Garfield. Apparently he use to entertains friends by having them call out quotes from Shakespeare. He would then simultaneously translate them in Latin and Greek, writing them out with both hands.

Okay, so not all of them are extinct -- there are a fair number of modded ErgoDox -- but a lot of them are obscure. And you'll need to use Google Translate or something unless you read Russian.

Great collection of stuff, a lot of it from various geekhack threads. I think this page has been linked from geekhack before, but I’m only finding links to others of his posts. Written by geekhack user philpirj.

Absolutely astonishing! Split screen, split keyboard, together with aesthetics similar to Stanley Kubrick's.
