Not sure whether or not someone had an interest in this odd-looking keyboard, but here is a used but " in excellent condition and works great!" (according to the description) Safetype keyboard. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Safetype-Ergonomic-Vertical-Split-Keyboard-/160740193218?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item256cdcb3c2#ht_617wt_1336.

Starting bid is $49.99, and there is a bit less than two days to go.

Can someone enlighten me if this is really ergonomic or if this is just a troll keyboard? It really looks like play-doh.

yes, it is real. Here is the link to the pictures of the board in Webwit's collection: http://webwit.nl/input/safetype/

I wanted one once. By now I'm thinking: Where is the arm rest? Why is this staggered? Y U NO KEYWELL?

I just want a Kinesis pyramid.

It's also rubber dome...
I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

It would be good if it was not staggered. I tried a staggered vertical keyboard (Comfort Keyboard) and the staggering totally kills the idea. In contrast, putting 2 Kinesis Advantage vertically as an experiment, I'm able to type perfectly.

+1 for the Kinesis pyramid, I've been wanting to do it for a long time, and will probably do it sometime in March.
