Wow.  Those are so neat but so annoying at the same time.  I've used a couple of them on co-workers computers and you feel quite "Special" at first.

Glad to see the ergo thread getting started.  And I can't wait for the ErgoDox to take that last step to production.

Thanks Hoggy for getting this going. The Kinesis-Maltron info you posted in detail on DT is still going to be incorporated in my Everything Kinesis wiki and the movable thumb clusters on the unit I split in half.

I'll have to post some...I can't do it for a while. The keyboard is disassembled and packed. I don't have any pics (they were on my stolen laptop), so it will be months before I've re-settled and put it back together.

Sorry...

It's very cool with the integrated trackpoint. I'm getting blank ABS (I wish PBT) keycaps for it finally and I'm going to add the few extra keys/palm keys Sordna and I figured out were left on the matrix. I hope to do this in the winter after I've settled employment/living.

No doubt!
There's so much to do. The one good thing is that I have my list that is 95%+ complete of what I want to do. So it's mostly a matter of making some purchases and doing it. The research, trial/error, products, goals....is all worked out.

Nice DataHand you have there.  I have always wanted to try using one of them, but I wouldn't ever invest the money into one unless I got to "test drive" one first.
