Title: This looks like the worst keyboard known to man
Post by: crthell on Sun, 16 June 2013, 03:46:06

Short of actually trying it, besides those bendy rollup ones can it get worse? At least the rollup ones tend to have a semi standard layout

Anyone crazy enough to try this out? A finger amputation is worth it...for GeekHack :D

Well, standard qwerty is already pretty bad.

Id say at least that thing is more ergonomical than standard qwerty.. since that thing fits well with thumb action.

It's probably supposed to be a remote but the marketing department decided to ignore the designer's description.

Most compact keyboards (or rather keyboard-like remotes) are like this. Not the best thing for typing, but as remote control? Why not?
