Keyboard that looked like a game controller...

[Maxrunner]

Does anyone remembers that keyboard formatted like a game controller, what was its name?

Found it, it's the iGrip, anyone has tried this:

I've got one.   The idea is pretty cool, and it isn't difficult to adapt to.   You can rest both arms in your lap.

On the down side, it's noisy and isn't great if you have large hands.

They're cheap enough to give a ago.

Well there does not seem to exist European distributors yet....

I just learned that Alphagrip is the company, and igrip was the device. I had just thought of it as "Alphagrip" until now. I have read that they seem to be pretty solid.

That is ridiculous and amazing at the same time. Never knew such a beast existed.

I have one right here, any specific questions?

I think this controller is made for a special reason.
The problem is that I can't figure out what that is for.

It makes for a good alternative layout.  If you struggle to sit a desk all day then it's worth a try.  I don't think the designers had trying to break a typing record while on a treadmill in mind, but it's much more comfortable than typing on a normal keyboard in an armchair.

It would be really expensive if it's made just for few people.
The case is made with plastic. Usually, it needs molds to make them.
as far as I know, cost of making mold is high.

Well, it does cost about $200 iirc.

On that note I'd like to see a better designed wolfking pad with mx switches:



I think some of that design works, I love the idea of using the thumb more but for the most part it was not better than a normal keyboard sadly.
