Title: Does my fantasy keyboard exist?
Post by: Vehementi on Fri, 04 February 2011, 11:42:46

- Split keyboard like "microsoft natural keyboard"
- N key rollover
- Clicky keys
- No numpad

I have a filco tenkeyless and I couldn't be happier... well, not without the above :)

Does such a keyboard exist?

Nope.

If you can find a Cherry MX5000, you will be close.  You could modify one to have Cherry blues; they come with browns.  IIRC, they have NKRO.  Good luck finding one, though.

It is no fantasy, i'm sure some prototypes exist already in this world, for example
this member (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:12439) has built one, or take a look at my album section, then you know
some more people want this stuff you mentioned above..

Truly Ergonomic (http://www.trulyergonomic.com/) has NKey rollover and [supposedly eventually will be] available with brown or blue (clicky) mx cherry switches. A lot of folks lost confidence in this board after the pre-order date got pushed back and the company didn't reimburse other than offering "store credit". I'd wait until it actually comes out if you're interested.

I would like to get one of the TE 'boards, but I'll wait until they actually launch before I throw money at it.

That TE keyboard looks great, thanks for the replies.  I'll keep my eye on that...

At home I have the filco tenkeyless and at work I have the MS natural keyboard.  Our powers combined...!
