Title: Acer ERGO Split Keyboard with integrated trackpad
Post by: 8_INCH_FLOPPY on Mon, 25 July 2011, 18:26:18

I thought you guys might be interested in this, since it's rather unique, it got many good reviews, it's never been mentioned on this site, and it looks like a butt.

All the keys are a bit shiny, but that's the way they came.

What type of switch is used in this keyboard?

The switches are some rather light rubber domes that have a very defined bottoming out, more like the older(better) rubber domes of the 1990's than the new ones.
