I thought it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.  I wonder what other silly keyboards are out there. lol

All considered I think its some pretty cool design.

It really begs the question..if keyboards like this exist how hard can it be to actually make a real mechanical compact that wouldn't cost more than $100.

It does look like it belonged into a spacecraft from some mid-'90s space adventure game. If that's not silly I don't know what is.

Back to children's keyboards again, I'll nominate this Filco (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?p=105996).

I think this (http://web.archive.org/web/20040610152551/http://www.pckeyboard.com/pdf/Ontheballplus.pdf) deserves a mention, despite it's awesomeness.
