Title: Funky Ergo Keyboard
Post by: YakMN on Sun, 22 September 2013, 18:31:25

No idea what kind of switches, and I don't know much of anything about ergonomic keyboards, but this looked kind of neat.

Rather than the keyboard coming at a fixed angle, or the whole thing scissoring in two, it looks like the just the keys themselves can be set at different angles.

Design has some innovative features considering when they were made.

If it's by keytronic (I notice their label on the manual), it might be decent rubberdomes at least.

My keytronic rubber dome board is variable weight and actually feels super nice, could this be the same deal?

To clarify I do not have an ergonomic one like this, just a plain keytronic keyboard.

I've got one of these in my collection. Definitely rubber dome, but feels relatively okay. The adjustment mechanism is a joy to watch and you can move the space bar in two directions (so if you have the board at full tilt, then you can still push 'down'.
