Title: weird and crazy keyboard
Post by: berserkfan on Tue, 04 March 2014, 06:13:17
This is not being posted in great finds, because I don't consider it a great find.

Seller obviously bought the 11900 for the genuine Cherry keycaps, then scrounged up a bunch of keycaps from his crap bags. This keyboard is practically unusable for any non-pecking typist given the ridiculous number of key profiles on it. There are barely two keys side by side with a similar profile!

But just look and laugh. It really does look artistic.

You're right about it looking artistic.  Ignoring that this keyboard only has Cherry switches, the keyboard, through its keycaps, is a metaphor for the mechanical keyboard community being made up of a plethora of people with various likes and dislikes all pursuing the insatiable desire for keyboard perfection...dare I say...NIRVANA!

P.S. My fingers hurt just looking at it and imagining to type on it. :))

Gotta give the seller some credit, they threw that together fairly well considering the crap bags just went out. :D

AND if anyone didn't know that is a fellow geekhacker's ebay  :))

Either way it would be a cheap source for Cherry Blacks.

Just wear really think gloves and you'd probably not notice.

Yup, you will just press 4 keys at the same time.

I want this keyboard framed and hanging on wall. Not much use for anything else, though.
