3M special use keyboard?
« on: Fri, 17 January 2014, 10:52:57 »
Not sure what to make of this...but it looked interesting and has spherical keycaps, so figured I would post it here.

eBay Link

Seems pretty expensive to me...

Model F 122's have that layout. You get used to it. I would buy one of these exotic keyboards, if I knew I would be able to make a converter for it. Otherwise it's just a neat thing to put in my closet.

Are the hall effect switches really that awesome? There's a RAFI keyboard that uses them, and the owner reported that the keyfeel was gritty. What do you think D to the V?
