Ergo keyboard (TKL) split in half?
« on: Sun, 17 August 2014, 03:51:51 »
Hi,

I recall seeing a picture of a Korean keyboard (possibly custom) that was split in half like an Ergodox, but it was in either TKL or 60% format and still rectangular in shape.

I also recall it having Dolch-themed keycaps. Maybe someone knows which one I'm talking about, and how is it?

If your are talking about the ergoduck I think that was just a render showing proof of concept. I'm not sure an actual board was every built.

This? It's just a render. It is not known if it's going to get produced or if it gets then in what kind of timeline. http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=55954.0

Right! This is the one that I saw. I seems to be quite different from the Ergodox since it retains a normal layout, but I've never tried Ergodox and not sure if I would like that.

I found the other thread, thanks for the help.

Something that is actually going to be made that is the same concept is the Matias Ergo Pro: http://matias.ca/ergopro/pc/

It will use the Matias quiet keys. You can pre-order one now and the last I heard was that it was going to be available near the end of this year.

I don't know the basis for you asking, but if you need an ergo keyboard sooner rather than later, the Kinesis Freestyle has the same separation, etc. It has rubber domes that are rather nice compared to other rubber dome keyboards I've tried.

Some guys were hanging around on the forums with this thing.  We gave them a good deal of feedback.  Not sure if they have actually produced a working prototype, though.
